The title says pretty much everything. Waveguide becomes wav-eguide Vertically becomes vertic-ally Important becomes import-ant Here are my modules:

\documentclass[11pt]{article}
\usepackage{eurosym}
\usepackage{siunitx}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{cite}
\PassOptionsToPackage{obeyspaces}{url}
\usepackage{url}
\usepackage[raggedright]{titlesec}
\usepackage{gensymb}

\usepackage{polyglossia}
\setmainlanguage[variant=british]{english}

\newcommand{\sethyphenation}[2]{%
  \AtBeginDocument{%
    \begin{otherlanguage*}{#1}\hyphenation{#2}\end{otherlanguage*}%
  }%
}

\sethyphenation{english}{wave-guide}

There's also a command I'm using to minimize this problem, as I thought it was just related to waveguide (maybe a word not in the dictionary), but as it appears to happen every time, I can't overwrite every single word like this.

(it was the same with babel and not polyglossia)

    please edit your example so that it demonstrates the problem. If I comment out \sethyphenation{english}{wave-guide} and add \showhyphens{waveguide} then the system reports \TU/lmr/m/n/10.95 wave-guide showing that the hyphenation is not, as you report, wav-eguide. If you do get that make an example, and show the log file. – David Carlisle Jul 16 '17 at 17:47

    I get wave-guide im-port-ant ver-tic-ally, which look right. – egreg Jul 16 '17 at 17:47
  • You're actually right, it now seems to be working correctly. I don't know where the first error came from (if you remove polyglossia you will see it hypenated wrong, but that's ok), maybe also from the fact that since english is not my mother tongue, those other hypenations (important, vertically...) sounded very wrong to me. – VirtualFlyer Jul 16 '17 at 19:47
  • sorry for wasting your time – VirtualFlyer Jul 16 '17 at 19:47
  • You really do not want to use eurosym with fontspec, as you're currently doing. – cfr Jul 16 '17 at 22:51
