Origin of the word anybody

"Anybody" is a combination of the words "any" and "body." "Any" comes from the Old English word "ānīg," meaning "one," while "body" derives from the Old English "bodig," meaning "body, trunk." The word "anybody" first appeared in the late 14th century, evolving from earlier forms like "anibody." It signifies a single unspecified person, representing the potential of any individual within a larger group.
