[edit]Etymology
[edit]poly- (“multiple”) + Ancient Greek πώγων m (pṓgōn, “beard”). While 'πώγων' ends with the typical neuter suffix '-ων', it is masculine, not neuter or feminine, so it is unknown why the grammatical genders changed in these genera.
Proper noun
[edit]Polypogon f
- A taxonomic genus within the family Noctuidae – certain owlet moths.
