Definition & pronunciation of <b>wherever</b>

Where does the word wherever come from?

"Wherever" is a combination of two words: "where" and "ever." * "Where" is an old English word, meaning "at or to what place?" * "Ever" comes from the Old English word "æfre," meaning "always, at any time." The combination of these two words, "where" and "ever," created "wherever" as a way to indicate any place or location. It essentially means "in any place," "no matter where," or "in every place."
