Good day, members of the blogosphere!
I can announce that the Three Days’ Word has begun again. This time, we have a word called ‘ubiquitous’, courtesy of Karen from Joie de Mid Vivre. I don’t think it the most interesting word ever conceived by the English language—or indeed foreigners, from which we stole—but that’s a different matter altogether. I’m sure you’ll like it.
(If you have some better examples than me, please comment them. Although, I doubt it.)
Ubiquitous adj
Pronunciation: /ju:bɪkwɪtəs/
Etymology: From LATIN, ‘ubique’ (meaning everywhere).
Definition: Being everywhere at once; octopus-like characteristics.
Examples:
‘Ubiquitous was he; a madman, seemingly capable of teleportation.’
‘You are most ubiquitous—are you quite certain you can’t fly?’
‘No one is ubiquitous. Prioritise.’
Good day. I have poems to write...
It may not be the most interesting, but it is still my favorite. Thank you for featuring it.
