prevalent
의미: Widespread in a particular area or at a particular time; commonly occurring or existing.
Prevalent describes something that is widespread and commonly found, often with a slightly negative or neutral connotation (prevalent diseases, prevalent attitudes). It differs from 'ubiquitous' in that it does not suggest absolute universality, just commonness. In medical and public health contexts, 'prevalence' is a technical term for the proportion of a population affected by a condition. Common collocations include 'prevalent in,' 'most prevalent,' 'increasingly prevalent,' and 'prevalence rate.'
