allrounder
Jack of trades
An allrounder is someone with ability across multiple areas rather than specialized in one.
The term appears most often in cricket, where an allrounder both bats and bowls effectively: She's a genuine allrounder who can change a match with either skill.
More broadly, it describes versatile people or things: The car is a practical allrounder for families.
Also spelled all-rounder.
