Actually, it is. "Nylon", which is actually now a generic name (first
coined by duPont) for an entire family of fibers with somewhat different
characteristics, is technically a "polyamide."
So all the line you've discussed is "poly" of one sort or another, which
makes sense, since virtually all man-made petrochemical fibers are made
from polymers.
FWIW.
(And, no, I'm not a chemist or chemical engineer. But I have stayed at
a Holiday Inn Express.)
