Etymology: "Omnisciences" is simply the plural of "omniscience," so it names several instances or kinds of complete knowledge rather than adding a new idea. The noun it belongs to was formed in Medieval Latin as "omniscientia," meaning "all-knowledge," built from "omni-," meaning "all," and "scientia," meaning "knowledge." That Latin "scientia" is the same root that gives English "science," which originally meant knowledge in the broad sense rather than the study of nature alone.

Synonyms: all-knowingness, omniscience, infinite knowledge
