In my World Religions class, we were discussing the Jewish conception of God and his power. He is described as omnipotent and omniscient. Both of these words reminded me of Latin because they included the prefix omni- meaning "all". Omnipotent, meaning all powerful, which is made up of omni and the verb posse meaning "to be able". Omniscient, meaning all knowing, is made up of all and the verb scio, meaning "to know".
