In music and music theory a polychord consists of two or more chords, one on top of the other, multiple chords. It is implied, however, that the two chords are constructed in different manners or are taken as a unit. Thus, while simultaneous chords in a bitonal piece may be called polychords, this is rarely found useful.

Marc Sabatella's Jazz Improvisation Primer: Polychord and Upper Structure Voicings (652 words)
The basis of a polychord voicing is to play two different chords at the same time, such as one in the left hand and one in the right on a piano.
The simplest style of polychord voicing is to play two triads; for instance, a C major triad in the left hand on a piano, and a D major triad in the right.
One way to construct polychords that avoid doubled notes is to replace the triad at the bottom with either the third and seventh, the root and seventh, or the root and third of a dominant chord.
