　　WORD ORIGIN

　　Latin, mid-17th century

　　WHY THIS WORD?

　　“Omnifarious” is another way of saying “diverse.” It comes from the late Latin “omnifarius,” meaning “of all sorts.” There’s another 17th-century English word — “omniferous” — with a very similar definition, yet a different Latin root. It means “bearing, carrying, or consisting of all things, or many kinds or sorts of things.” Both share the prefix “omni-,” meaning “in all ways,” but the “fer” portion means “bearer” in Latin. The “farious” element of “omnifarious” means “relating to the face.”
