4 hrs confidence: 
omnibus subject Explanation: omnibus subject Given in the Concise Oxford as: omnibus · n. 1 a volume containing several works previously published separately. > chiefly Brit. a single edition of two or more consecutive programmes previously broadcast separately. Advanced Learners' and Longman's are similar of course :-) -- or think of an expression of your own. I think this has been invented more or less on the spot as meaning an all-in-one subject or all-embracing subject. Hold-all subject... Probably with the association of a container as a large unit that accommodates anything or everything. A rubbish skip is also called a container in Danish, but that is not what is meant here. |
