Explanation

'Polyandrist' refers to a woman who practices polyandry - having more than one husband at the same time. 'Polygynist' is a man with multiple wives, 'Bigamist' is someone with two spouses, and 'Polygamy' is the general practice of having multiple spouses (not specific to women). 'Polyandrist' is the precise term for a woman with multiple husbands.
