From http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=polyhedronpolyhedron1570, from Gk. polyedron, neut. of adj. polyedros"having many bases or sides," from polys "many" (see poly-) + hedra "seat, base, chair, face of a geometric solid," from PIE base *sed- "to sit" (see sedentary).
So, they are many sided geometric solids.
