Morphology
omniscient = sci (semi-transparent) = omni + sci + ent
The prefix 'omni-' means 'all', and 'sci-' relates to knowledge, but the specific meaning of 'omniscient' as 'having unlimited knowledge' is not fully transparent.
Etymology
Omniscient comes from Latin parts omni- 'all' and sciens 'knowing'. Think of science, which is about knowing, so omniscient means 'knowing everything'.
