Why “omnitude” is a great word
OMNITUDE — [Noun] The fact or condition of being all; totality, universality. From New Latin omnitūdō (from Latin omni-, combining form of omnis "all" + -tūdō, suffix forming abstract nouns denoting state or condition), first attested in the 18th century; entered English usage in the 1840s. Unlike "totality," which quantifies the sum of parts, or "plenitude," which suggests an abundant fullness, omnitude denotes the pure, abstract state of absolute inclusiveness itself. It is the silent pressure of a starless night sky, the featureless map drawn at a one-to-one scale, and the conceptual weight of a set that contains every other set—a profound and lonely completeness that renders the idea of "something else" a logical impossibility.
