English is an incredibly flexible language, allowing -wide as a suffix meaning “extending or applying throughout a given space.”

Answer 2

I disagree with the previous poster. "Globewide" might be being used as a made-up company name, but that doesn't mean it's a real word. Like George W. Bush has learned the hard way, you can't just throw prefixes and suffixes onto words if you want to be seen as having a decent grasp of English vocabulary.

I think this is a mash up of two much more commonly used words, "global" and "worldwide," both of which are much more commonly accepted words.

Answer 3

Yes but may not be in a dictionary. A better word is international or global.
