Description

"Everywhere" is about something being in all places, or at least seeming to be in all places. Think of a messy room where clothes are on the bed, the floor, and the chair. You might laugh and say they are everywhere. Or think of a catchy song that you hear on the radio, in stores, and in videos all day. It feels like it is everywhere.

The word can describe real physical spread ("Snow was everywhere after the blizzard") or a more general feeling ("There was excitement everywhere in the city"). It is also often used for emphasis. When someone says, "I looked everywhere for my keys," they usually mean they looked in many likely places very carefully, not in every possible place on earth.
