'Ubiquitously' is the adverb of 'ubiquitous': it describes an action or a state as happening everywhere, in every place you look. You use it with a verb or before an adjective — 'The app is ubiquitously installed on office computers', 'The design is ubiquitously copied'. Honestly, it is much rarer than the adjective, and it can sound heavy or . Careful writers usually turn the sentence around and use the adjective instead: not 'Scooters are ubiquitously found in this city', but 'Scooters are ubiquitous in this city'. If you meet it, it will most often be in academic, technical or business writing — a paper about 'ubiquitously expressed genes', a report on a product that is 'ubiquitously available'. Like the adjective, it is often loose rather than literal: it usually means 'nearly everywhere, wherever you check', not 'in every single place on earth'. It can also carry the same light humour — a writer saying a slogan is ubiquitously repeated may be gently complaining about it.
無所不在地、到處地、隨處可見地(副詞,書面語,日常少用)。
組成ubiquitous + -ly, the ending that makes an adjective into an adverb (quick → quickly). Underneath sits Latin ubique, 'everywhere'.
