'omnipotence' originates from Latin, specifically the word 'omnipotentia,' where 'omni-' meant 'all' and 'potentia' meant 'power.'

'omnipotentia' transformed into the Old French word 'omnipotence,' and eventually became the modern English word 'omnipotence.'

Initially, it meant 'all-powerful,' and this meaning has largely remained the same in modern usage.
