omni
The ROOT-WORD is MONI which comes from the Latin omnis meaning ALL. It is really an OMNIbus of a word, for everything can be tacked on to it. The humor of saying English words with a Latin ending, like No.9, is called MACARONIC & BURLESQUE as it were. But it is not humor to the doctors who use that kind of Latin in their prescriptions. It makes the ailing Latin professors laugh and that does them more good than the prescriptions. The joke is on the doctor, but he doesn’t know it.
