Some things are so common they've basically disappeared into the background — smartphones, coffee shops, that one song you can't escape this summer. Ubiquitous means it's not just popular, it's everywhere, all the time, whether you're looking for it or not.
This word started out describing something with a much bigger reach than smartphones: God. See how a theology term became the go-to way to complain about pumpkin spice, and the one thing "ubiquitous" doesn't actually mean.
