Morphology
omnivorousness = omnivorous (semi-transparent) = omni + vor + ous + ness
While the morphological construction is clear, the cultural extension of 'omnivorousness' to consuming diverse cultural goods is metaphorical.
Etymology
Omnivorousness comes from Latin parts omni- 'all' and -vorous 'to eat', like in omnivore, and is often used as a picture for tastes. So when someone has cultural omnivorousness, they 'eat' many kinds of music, books, and films, meaning they enjoy a very wide range.
