In the context where this term was used, it was fairly clear to me what was meant. If you'd draw a genealogy of aikido, there would be different offshoots from the root branch at different time created by different students of O Sensei: Tomiki, Shioda, Saito, Tohei, etcetera.
In this view, aikikai would be an offshoot too, the offshoot created by Ueshiba Kisshomaru.
So how would you call that root branch if you'd want to distinguish it from aikikai? I think Ueshiba aikido is a reasonable attempt.

You lost me there. I am not referring to a specific person or sentence. The term has been used along with the term Ueshiba aiki.
How would you describe a new root branch to distinguish from Aikikai? Well you could name it after it's Teacher or whatever you like but Ueshiba's Aikido is I think the worst attempt you could make.
