释义

omnianan.

Brit. /ˌɒmnɪˈɑːnə/, U.S. /ˌɑmniˈɑnə/
Origin: A borrowing from Latin. Etymons: Latin omnis, omnia, -ana.
Etymology: < classical Latin omnis all (see omni- comb. form) or omnia all things, use as noun of neuter plural of omnis (see above) + -ana (see -ana suffix).Quot. 1990 probably refers to Coleridge's co-authorship with Southey of Omniana (see quot. 1812). N.E.D. (1902) gives the pronunciation as (ǫmniˌēi·nă) /ɒmnɪˈeɪnə/.
Now chiefly historical.
Thoughts or scraps of information about all or many kinds of things, esp. (a collection of) notes, jottings, or short pieces of writing on all or many kinds of subjects.
