omnibus
含义: A volume containing several works previously published separately, or an adjective meaning including many items or covering several subjects at once.
In British publishing, an omnibus edition collects multiple novels or stories into a single volume. In broadcasting, particularly on the BBC, an omnibus episode is a compilation of the week's episodes of a serial. In parliamentary usage, an omnibus bill covers multiple unrelated topics in a single piece of legislation. The word also survives as the formal origin of 'bus,' still occasionally used in its full form for literary effect.
