词源

Probably a back-formation from ubication (“condition or fact of being in, or occupying, a certain place or position”) on the basis of -ate (suffix forming verbs). Ubication is borrowed from New Latin ubicātiō (“location”) (compare the inflected forms ubicātiōnis, ubicātiōnī, etc.), from Latin ubicātus (“located”) + -iō (suffix forming abstract nouns). Ubicātus is a past participial form of ubicō (“to situate”) (found in British works from the 14th century), from ubi (“where”) (ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *kʷ- (primary interrogative root)) + -ō (suffix forming regular first-conjugation verbs).
