I have always understood...

UNIVERSE as...

UNI = ONE as in the sense of a single entity, but also in the sense of "whole," 
" integral" and "complete."

VERSE = POEM or SONG.

So, literally... 

UNIVERSE = ONE SONG

Given the late, Carl Sagan... 
...spoke of everything from galaxies to dandelions as being made of "star stuff"
...everything and every being as part of a great cosmic conciousness 
...used musical metaphors numerous times to communicate his sense of wonder and 
awe of the universe in his "COSMOS" series. 

... It looks like I'm in good company.   :)

As far as the "If the universe is the answer, then what is the question?" issue 
is concerned... maybe we could get Alex Trebek to help us with this one?  ;)

Ciao!
Calvin

As Leon Lederman wrote on the cover of his great
book "The God Particle" ..... :

If the universe is the answer - What is the question ?
