whichsoever

Whatever one selected

Whichsoever is an archaic or formal intensive form of whichever, emphasizing complete freedom of choice among options: Whichsoever path you choose, I will support you.

The word appears mainly in legal documents, religious texts, and deliberately old-fashioned prose.

Modern English overwhelmingly prefers whichever.
