Morphology

ubiquitousness = ubiquitous (transparent) = ubiquitous + ness

Standard noun formation from the adjective 'ubiquitous' using '-ness'; the meaning 'the state of being ubiquitous' follows directly.

Etymology

The word ubiquitousness comes from the Latin word ubique, meaning 'everywhere', and from ubi meaning 'where'. So ubiquitousness is the state of being 'everywhere at once', which is why advertisements or smartphones can feel like they are in every place.
