Another 'multi-tool' question

Only this one is dumb.
I have a garage full of tools, some I
bought as far back as 50 years ago.
When I have seen the threads on here
about 'multi-function' tools, I rather figured
you were talking about like a pair of pliers
with a screw driver on one leg of the grip.
You know, something like a Swiss Army
knife - one tool with lots of gadgets. I never
thought much of these sort of things, and
steered away from them, so I didn't pay much
attention to these multi-tool threads.
But, after reading a few, I have determined
that this old man doesn't know as much
as he thought he did. So my question is:
What the heck is a 'multi-tool'?
Thanks for setting me straight.

More descriptive, it's often called an oscillating tool. A blade is
mounted to it and it only moves left & right like 5 degrees at 10k to 20k
oscillations per minute. Very good at plunge cuts & getting into places
where you can't with other tools, expensive or not.

to get your feet wet. Google around.
Post any specific questions back here of course.
