Polymath comes out of 2 Greek words Poly=Very or Various
and math=learn
so in English is a person who learns variety or knows various of knowledgeable information.
You can only tell someone he is a polymath only if he is a
very intelligent or smart!
I hope I helped you...cause I do speak Greek read and write...

This should tell you more than you want to know, but read it all for a wider range of knowledge.
