Root Explanation
Anywhere → It is formed from "any" (from Old English "ænig", meaning any or one) and "where" (from Old English "hwær", meaning in or at what place). The word "anywhere" means in or at any place.
Memory Tip
Think of 'any' meaning one of many options and 'where' referring to a place — so anywhere means in any place.
