omniumgatherum

Omnium gatherum is a Latin phrase meaning "a gathering of all things" or "a miscellany," and it is used in English to describe a diverse, assorted collection of items, topics, or articles. The expression derives from omnis ("all") and gatherum ("gathering"), and it typically refers to a compilation that brings together a broad range of subjects or materials, often without a single unifying theme. In literary criticism, catalog descriptions, and discussions of anthologies, the term may be used in its plain form or hyphenated as omnium-gatherum.

The phrase also appears as a proper noun in popular culture, notably as the name of a Finnish melodic death metal band formed in the mid-1990s. The band has released several records and developed a following within its genre, illustrating how the term’s sense of abundance and variety can function as a band name. Outside of this usage, omnium gatherum remains a general descriptor for collections that are deliberately eclectic rather than thematically constrained.
