The word 'whoever' is a combination of 'who' and 'ever', and it has been used in English since the Middle Ages. It is derived from Old English 'hwa' (who) and 'รฆfre' (ever). The use of 'whoever' as an indefinite pronoun to refer to any person or people without restriction has been common in English for centuries.
