Morphology

ubiquitously = ubiquitous (transparent) = ubiquitous + ly

Formed by regular adverbial suffix '-ly' from the adjective 'ubiquitous', so the meaning 'in a way that is present everywhere' is directly derived.

Etymology

The word ubiquitously comes from the Latin word ubique meaning 'everywhere', so it simply describes something that appears 'all over' or is found everywhere.
