Morphology
omnibenevolent = benevolent (transparent) = omni + benevolent
Meaning is directly built from the prefix 'omni-' (all) plus the adjective 'benevolent' (kind), producing 'all-good' in an obvious compositional way.
Etymology
Omnibenevolent comes from omni- meaning 'all', the same omni- in omnipresent, and benevolent meaning 'kind', where bene- means 'good' as in benefit. So an omnibenevolent being is kind to everyone and has goodness for all.
