anything
No matter what
Anything is the sum of its parts: any thing.
It is a pronoun or a noun that can stand in place of any noun, except a noun that designates a person (in which case you use anyone or anybody).
Anything can stand for both concrete and abstract nouns: Do you need anything from the supermarket?
There wasn’t anything wrong with him when I saw him.
Anything is typically used in questions and in negations instead of something.
Anything has a minor role as an intensifying adverb in the phrase anything like: The hotel wasn’t anything like the one we stayed in last year.
