Morphology

omnifarious = various (semi-transparent) = omni + fari + ous

The prefix 'omni-' suggests 'all', but the root 'fari' is not a standalone English word, making the word less transparent.

Etymology

Omnifarious comes from the Latin prefix omni- meaning 'all' combined with the idea of various meaning 'many kinds', so it means 'of every sort'.
