Morphology

wheresoever = where (semi-transparent) = where + soever

The word is transparently based on 'where', but the archaic suffix-like element 'soever' is not productive in modern English.

Etymology

The word wheresoever joins where ('place') and soever (an old word meaning 'at all', like whatsoever), so it means 'in whatever place' or simply 'wherever'.
