Imitator of all


late 16th century (first used in the Latin form and denoting an actor using mime): from French pantomime or Latin pantomimus, from Greek pantomimos ‘imitator of all’ (see panto-, mime).

[Kidas]

from Greek pantomimos "actor," literally "imitator of all," from panto- (genitive of pan) "all" + mimos "imitator"

From wiki

The word pantomime was adopted from the Latin word pantomimus,[6] which in turn derives from the Greek word παντόμιμος (pantomimos), consisting of παντο- (panto-) meaning "all", and μῖμος (mimos), meaning a dancer who acted all the roles or all the story.
