03Origin & word formation
A paper in a 2006 National Institute of Korean Language publication presents 두루누리 as an alternative to 유비쿼터스 and analyzes the combination of 두루 and 누리. It adds that whether the term would become established remained to be seen at the time. Who first used it and when have not been verified.
Evidence for the origin explanationMedium
The explanation in the body of the official publication was directly checked. This paper analyzes survey material from 2002–2005, so it does not mean the expression first arose in 2006.
