Etymology

Oriunde is a compound of ori-, an indefinite prefix that also appears in oricine ('whoever'), oricare ('whichever'), and oricând ('whenever'), plus unde, meaning 'where'. Unde comes directly from Latin unde, 'from where, whence'. The prefix ori- generalizes a specific question word into an open, universal one, so unde ('where') becomes oriunde ('wherever, anywhere').
