Multifarious Great Occurring Variety Diverse Natives Put Coconut

word multifarious
definition Having or occurring in great variety; diverse.
eg_sentence Natives put the coconut palm to multifarious uses: using the nuts for eating, the juice for drinking, the wood for building huts, the leaves for thatch, the fiber for mats, and the shells for utensils.
explanation Multifarious is a rather grand word, probably not for everyday use, but when you want to emphasize great variety—such as the huge number of uses to which a state-of-the-art cell phone can be put—it can be effective. Dictionary fans are constantly amazed by the multifarious meanings of the word set (47 of them in one unabridged dictionary), and thesaurus lovers may marvel at the multifarious synonyms for drunk.
