multifunctionality
Does several things
Multifunctionality is the quality of serving multiple purposes or performing several functions.
The term appears most often in technical and policy contexts: a smartphone's multifunctionality, the multifunctionality of agricultural land that provides food, habitat, and flood control.
The design emphasizes multifunctionality over single-purpose efficiency.
