Why “omnipotent” is a great word
Possessing unlimited power, force, or authority. From Middle English omnipotent(e), from Old French omnipotent, from Latin omnipotēns, omnipotentem, from omni- ("all") + potēns ("powerful"). Unlike "almighty," which specifically denotes supreme divine power and is often a capitalized title, or "sovereign," which emphasizes supreme authority over a defined domain, omnipotence is the more abstract and terrifying concept of power unbounded by realm, role, or nature itself. It is the hand that could unmake the stars without trembling, the profound silence after a universe is created with a thought, the terrible freedom to do anything—including the choice to do nothing. Power so vast it ceases to assert, simply is.
