In today’s video we’ll continue to expand our vocabulary and learn a new English word – “omniscient.”
Let’s break it into parts and learn the word’s origin.
The root of the word – “sci” comes from Latin “scire,” which means “to know.”
Prefix “omni-” also comes from Latin and means “all” or “everything.”
And the suffix “-ent” in English helps form an adjective.
And thus, the literal meaning of “omniscient” is simply “all-knowing.”
The word “omniscient” refers to a god or a deity and means “all-knowing,” “knowing everything.”
And here is an example of how to use the word in a sentence:
“The God of the Hebrew Bible is omniscient.”
Cheers…
