Being everywhere at once, so technically never late and never truly arrived either.
means The quality of being present in all places at the same time.
from Built from Latin omnis, 'all,' plus praesentia, 'presence' — itself from prae ('before') and esse ('to be'), so literally 'being before/at hand.' The compound entered English through medieval theology, where thinkers needed a precise word for God's capacity to be fully present everywhere at once, not spread thin like fog but wholly there in every place simultaneously.
