Perhaps omnitarian could be used to refer to one who eats everything. 2. It wouldn't be "omnitarian", as the suffix to denote "one who practices or believes in something" is not "-tarian" but rather "-arian". When words end in "-tarian" it's because their root word ends in "-ty" (e.g. humanity->humanitarian, authority=>authoritarian). That leaves us with "omniarian" which is just a prefix and a suffix with no root and therefore doesn't work. | |
