Joseph Smith taught "plural marriage" - as it's referred to in LDS circles.

Perhaps you could point us to the records of Mormon polyandry then. If you can find them.

I think polygamy is the only fair term.

Actually polyandry WAS practiced in early Mormonism.

Joseph Smith was married to several women who were already married.

In fact Apostle Parley P. Pratt who was murdered in Arkansas was accused of polyandry and killed, by his new wife’s current husband.
