Morphology
omnivore = omni + vore
The meaning is fairly inferable as 'all-eater,' but both parts are learned classical combining forms rather than ordinary free English words familiar to most learners.
Etymology
The word omnivore comes from Latin parts omni- meaning 'all' and -vore meaning 'to eat'. So, an omnivore 'eats everything' and can eat both plants and animals, unlike a herbivore or a carnivore.
