From cubī with iambic shortening, from Proto-Italic *kʷuðei or *kʷuβei, from Proto-Indo-European *kʷudʰei or *kʷobʰí (when compared with Hittite ku-wa-pi), from pronominal root *kʷu- + *-dʰi (locative suffix). Compare Ancient Greek πόθι (póthi). See also the same meanings in quō.^[1]

The unexpected loss of c may be explained as a re-analysis of the negative nēcubi, where the c was interpreted as being from nec (the negation here was just the nē). This is also clear in the compound alicubi and sī-cubi. Contamination with ibi (“there”) is also possible.

   • 29 BCE – 19 BCE, Virgil, Aeneid 1.99–101:

     “[...] saevus ubī̆ Aeacidae tēlō iacet Hector, ubī̆ ingēns
     Sarpēdōn, ubī̆ tot Simois correpta sub undīs
     scūta virum galeāsque et fortia corpora volvit!”

     “[Troy…], where fierce Hector lies, [pierced] by the spear of Achilles, where huge Sarpedon [perished], [and] where the [River] Simois has seized and rolled beneath its waves so many shields, helmets and bodies of brave men!”
     (The repetition of “ubī̆” exemplifies anaphora. “Aeacidae” is a patronymic: Achilles was the grandson “of Aeacus.” Read virorum for virum, a syncopated genitive plural. See also: Simois or Simoeis; Sarpedon.)

The adverbs ubī̆ (“where”), ubī̆nam (“where in the world?”), ubī̆cumque (“wherever”) and ubiubī̆ are sometimes used with terrārum (genitive plural of terra (“land”)), locī / locōrum (genitive singular and plural of locus (“place”), respectively) and gentium (genitive plural of gens (“people, nation”)), to denote the same meaning as "where on earth" or "where in the world" (see also unde and derivatives):

Ubī̆ terrārum sumus?

Where in the world are we?

Ubī̆ illum quaeram gentium?

Where in the world should I search for him?

Ubī̆ locī fortūnae tuae sint, facile intellegis. (Plautus Captivi 958)
