Omniferous (adj)

Not omnivorous, it is a little more akin to omnipotent, or omnipresent. You might think it means "all iron", but it is rather more like being all things, having all parts, or doing all things.

It's poorly understood, unused word.

(sometimes spelled "Omnifarious" in America where the word is never used....)
