omnis

== English == === Noun === omnis plural of omni === Anagrams === Minos, Simon, minos, simon == Latin == === Etymology === From Proto-Italic *opnis, from Proto-Indo-European *h₃ep-ni-s (“working”), from the verbal root *h₃ep- (“to work”, and hence “to possess”). Related to ops and opus. It could also reflect the base Proto-Indo-European *h₁op- (“to work, to take”) (compare optō), to which De Vaan gives a slight preference for semantic reasons. === Pronunciation === (Classical Latin) IPA(key): [ˈɔm.nɪs] (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA(key): [ˈɔm.nis] === Adjective === omnis (neuter omne); third-declension two-termination adjective (in the singular) every (in the singular) whole, the entirety, all (in the plural) all Attributed to Ennius by Augustinus in De Trinitate; Book XIII, Chapter III ==== Usage notes ==== In separating omnis from tōtus it can be useful to remember Quintilian's sentence (Ins.Or.8.3.70), "minus est tamen tōtum dīcere, quam omnia" ("It is less to say the whole, than all the parts."). ==== Declension ==== Third-declension two-termination adjective. ==== Derived terms ==== ==== Descendants ==== ==== See also ==== cata tōtus === References === “omnis”, in Charlton T.
