Multifarious

“Multifarious” (mul-tuh-FARE-ee-us) – from the Latin for “on many sides” – means having great diversity or variety.

Example (as used by T. Coraghessan Boyle in Riven Rock): “But as he reached the verge of the lawn and vaulted the retaining wall there, crossed the flagstone walkway and started up the steps of the ad building, the multifarious marvel of his congested brain surprised him – the apes flew right out of his head and he was thinking about California.”
