Morphology

anywhere = any + where (transparent) = any + where

The meaning is a straightforward combination of 'any' + 'where' yielding 'at any place', which is directly inferable.

Etymology

Anywhere comes from the two parts any ('one or some') and where ('place'), the same any you see in anyone and anything, so it means 'in or to any place', or simply 'no particular place'.
