omnipresent
UK: ˌɒmnɪˈprezənt | US: ˌɑːmnɪˈprezənt
adj. present everywhere at the same time
adj. (figuratively) constantly encountered or widespread
The word "omnipresent" combines the Latin prefix omni- (meaning "all" or "every") with the English word present (from Latin praesens, meaning "existing" or "at hand"). The term emerged in the early 17th century, originally used in theological contexts to describe a deity's unlimited presence. Over time, it broadened to secular usage, describing anything pervasive or universally observable. The logic mirrors omnipotent (all-powerful) and omniscient (all-knowing), forming a coherent Latin-derived pattern for "all-encompassing" qualities.
