Etymology: "Everyplace" is a compound formed from "every" and "place", with the two words joined into one. Its meaning follows directly from its parts: "every" distributes the idea across all instances, and "place" refers to a location, so the combined sense is any location at all, with no particular spot singled out. The pattern is a familiar one in English. "Everywhere", "everybody" and "everything" are built the same way, pairing "every" with a noun to name a general category without distinction. "Everyplace" belongs to this group and is most often used in American English as a more casual alternative to "everywhere" in phrases such as "I've looked everyplace."
Synonyms: everywhere, anywhere, all over, in all places, in every location
