Root Explanation

Wherever is formed from "where" (from Old English "hwær", meaning in what place) and "-ever" (a suffix used to indicate any or all instances). The word "wherever" means in or to any place or every place.

Memory Tip

Think of 'where' as asking about a place, and '-ever' suggesting any or all instances — so 'wherever' means any place you might think of.
