Etymology: Omnificence combines the Latin "omnis," meaning "all," with "facere," meaning "to make" or "do." Latin already had the adjective "omnificus," "all-making," and English attached its noun ending "-ence," the same one in "magnificence." The comparison with "magnificence" is revealing. That word comes from "magnus," great, so its original sense is something like "great-making," or splendour. Swapping in "omnis" shifts the emphasis from grandeur to totality, so the idea is less about how impressive a creation is and more about the complete range of what is made. The shared root "facere" also gives English "fact," "factory," and "manufacture."
