Morphology

omnipotent = potent (transparent) = omni + potent

The meaning is directly built from 'omni-' (all) + 'potent' (powerful), yielding 'all-powerful'.

Etymology

The word omnipotent is made of omni- meaning 'all' and potent meaning 'powerful'. So, omnipotent means 'all-powerful' or having 'no limits' on power.
