omniscient
UK: /ɒmˈnɪsɪənt/ | US: /ɑːmˈnɪʃənt/
adj. having infinite knowledge; knowing all things
The word "omniscient" derives from Latin omnis (meaning "all") and sciens (present participle of scire, "to know"). Combined, they form omnisciens, which evolved into the English term. This reflects the concept of universal knowledge, often attributed to divine beings in theological contexts. The morpheme "omni-" appears in other English words like "omnipotent" (all-powerful) and "omnipresent" (present everywhere), while "-scient" relates to "science" (systematic knowledge) and "conscious" (aware).
