Someone who collects languages the way others collect regrets about language class.
means A person who speaks, reads, or writes several languages — or something (like a text) rendered in multiple languages at once.
from From Greek 'polyglottos' — 'poly' (many) plus 'glotta/glossa' (tongue, language). The same root 'glossa' gives us 'gloss' and 'glossary,' so a polyglot is, quite literally, someone with many tongues in their head — one for each language they've tamed.
