Adjective - present, appearing, found everywhere.
From the Latin ubique - everywhere.
Ah, the ubiquitous ubiquitous: a great word with a surprisingly simple meaning. It has some great derivatives too: ubiquitously, ubiquitousness and ubiquity. However,it is one of those words which begins to look wrongly spelt if you keep writing it, like I have here. It is used a fair amount in modern English but I feel that we should use it even more to make it like a self-fulfilling prophesy (good word) and therefore truly ubiquitous.
