The word "omnisciently" is derived from the combination of two components: "omni" and "-sciently".
1. "Omni" comes from the Latin word "omnis", meaning "all" or "every". It is commonly used as a prefix in English to indicate all-encompassing or universal concepts, such as in words like "omnipotent" (all-powerful) or "omnipresent" (present everywhere).
2. "-Sciently" is an adverbial suffix formed from the adjective "scient", derived from the Latin word "sciens", which means "knowing" or "knowledgeable".
