OriginEarly 19th century: via French from Latin, literally 'for all', dative plural of omnis. The 1820s saw the introduction in Paris of a horse-drawn vehicle that carried passengers along a fixed route for a fare. This was called a voiture omnibus, a ‘vehicle for everybody’. When it came to London the vehicle was called simply an omnibus. Though ‘omnibus’ was taken from French, its origin is a Latin form meaning ‘for all’, based on omnis ‘all’, and by the 1930s people had shortened this rather pompous, learned word to bus. In the 1830s an omnibus came to be a volume containing several works previously published separately. Omnis also gives us words such as omnivorous (early 17th century) literally ‘all-eating’, and omniscient (early 17th century) ‘knowing everything’, and omnipotent (Middle English) ‘all powerful.
