The prefix 'omni-' conveys what meaning?

  1. All, everywhere

  2. With, together

  3. To see

  4. Right, straight

The correct answer is: All, everywhere

The prefix 'omni-' conveys the meaning of 'all' or 'everywhere.' This prefix is derived from Latin, where it implies inclusiveness or totality. For instance, words like 'omniscient' refer to having all knowledge, and 'omnipresent' indicates being present everywhere at the same time. The use of 'omni-' in these contexts emphasizes completeness and universality, making it clear that the term encompasses everything or all aspects related to the root word. This understanding is essential for interpreting various terms in different disciplines, such as science, philosophy, and literature, where the breadth of meaning conveyed is significant.
