IMHO a poor word to use. I'm a middle aged Brit who's never heard of it so people who have English as a second language have little or no chance :( IMO a fine word. New to me, but perfectly clear and memorable once explained. People with English as a second language might do better than us if they've cottoned onto the patterns arising from the root languages, versus a native speaker basing things entirely on memory.
just as a data point: polysemic (from my italian native language) it's pretty "self-explanatory": "poly-" it's a very common prefix for "many", and "semic" has the same root of "semantic". Btw the italian version (polisemia) it's pronounced almost the same, so it's "an easy one" to translate.
