any - O.E. �nig "any, anyone," lit. "one-y," from P.Gmc. *ainagas (cf. O.S. enig, O.N. einigr, O.Fris. enich, Du. enig, Ger. einig). Thr -y may have dim. force here. Any old is from 1896. Combinations anywise, anyone, anything date back to O.E.; anywhere is from c.1300; anybody 1490; anyway 1570 (but anyways, with adverbial genitive, is from 1560); anyhow 1740; anyplace 1934. Anywhen (1831) is rarely used.
