well-rounded
Strong in everything
Well-rounded describes something complete and balanced across multiple areas.
A well-rounded education covers many subjects.
A well-rounded person has diverse skills, interests, or experiences rather than narrow expertise: She's well-rounded—plays piano, speaks three languages, and runs marathons.
The term can also describe physical shape, meaning pleasantly curved or full-figured.
