ABSTRACT
UBIQUITOUS, EVERYWHERE, OMNIPRESENT, UNIVERSAL. Ubiquitous, from Latin ubique, everywhere, is simply the Latin corresponding to the native English everywhere, used as an adjective. It differs from everywhere in being distinctly an "educated" word, one found only in the vocabulary of the educated. Omnipresent differs from ubiquitous in meaning not merely everywhere, but present everywhere at the same time. Omnipresence is one of the attributes of God. Universal is a more general word which may be limited to correspond to everywhere; it means everywhere throughout the whole scheme of things.
