ever

At any point

Ever is an adverb that usually has a time-related meaning.

In its strictest and original sense it means always: we are ever looking to expand our customer base.

It can also mean at any time or in any way; from these meanings, it has found a home in compound words that have a generalizing effect, such as whatever, whenever, however, and many others.
