Answer:

An omniscient narrator is a type of narrator used in third person stories where the narrator is aware of all the thoughts and feelings of the characters as well as all of the situations the characters are in.

Step-by-step explanation:

The meaning of this word comes from two Latin roots. The first being omni- meaning all. The second being -scient meaning knowing or aware. Coming together, omniscient means all knowing. Omniscient narration can be used in stories to develop other characters experiences besides the main character, giving the reader insight into their lives more than third person limited point of view could :-)
