pervasive
Significado: Spreading widely throughout an area or group of people; present and noticeable everywhere.
Pervasive describes something that has spread to affect every part of a system, environment, or society. It usually carries a negative connotation (pervasive corruption, pervasive influence of social media) but can be neutral (the pervasive aroma of baking bread). It is stronger than 'widespread' and implies deep penetration. It collocates with 'influence,' 'culture,' 'problem,' 'smell,' and 'sense.'
