Polygenic is a mixed origin subtype. Specifically, it means a multiple origin plural, especially if those multiple origins cause the plural to have a lot of members.
Some examples of reasons people might use polygenic:
- In place of pangenic, meaning "probably all origins, but since the system doesn't know every origin, they can't say that."
- A way to say the origins mixing together made you polyplural in some way.
- For a system that has a limited number of origins and is aware of all or most of them.
There can be other reasons why someone would prefer polygenic over other, similar mixed origin types.
