Poly means everything and nothing.
It is the first half of a chemical name; it tells you that the compound is a polymer of the molecule specified in the second half of the name. A polymer is a large molecule made by joining together a number of identical smaller molecules. Polymerisation doesn't change the elemental composition of the substance, but makes big changes to its properties.
Example. If vinyl chloride is polymerised it becomes polyvinylchloride; a colourless gas becomes a plastic (PVC), but the elemental composition is the same.
