Etymology
The Modern Greek word "όποιος" meaning "whoever" originates from Ancient Greek "ὅστις" (hóstis), which is a compound of "ὅς" (hós, "who") and "τις" (tis, "anyone"). This construction was used to form indefinite relative pronouns in Ancient Greek, and over time, it evolved into "όποιος" in Modern Greek, maintaining its function as an indefinite relative pronoun.
