Surface Forms

Morphology

anytime = any + time (semi-transparent) = any + time

The polite-response sense is an idiomatic extension of 'any time (I'll help)', so the components are related but the conversational use is pragmatic and not strictly compositional.

Etymology

Anytime began as the phrase any + time meaning 'at any time', and people started using it as a short, friendly reply to thanks. Saying anytime is like saying 'I am happy to help' or 'you can ask whenever', which is why it works as a polite answer.
