pervasive
UK: pəˈveɪsɪv | US: pərˈveɪsɪv
adj. spreading widely throughout an area or group of people
adj. having the quality of permeating or influencing every part
The word "pervasive" originates from Latin pervasus, the past participle of pervadere ("to go through"), composed of per- (through) + vadere (to go). The root vadere also appears in words like "invade" (go into) and "evade" (go out). Over time, "pervasive" evolved to describe something that spreads thoroughly, emphasizing its ability to penetrate or influence all parts of a system or space.
