The prefix "icosidodeca" indicates

icosi = 20

do = 2

deca = 10

a 32 sided polyhedron.

However, a 32 sided polyhedron should be called a triacontadihedron: (30 + 2) rather than (20 + 12).

In my view, the use of Greek prefices is pretentious and is only useful for obfuscation and irritating your readers. I prefer the much simpler "32-hedron with rhombic faces". Clear and easy for anyone to understand.
