“any” has essentially the same etymology as “unique” and i gotta say not sure what the English were thinking with this one

apparently the Irish also use “one” to mean “any” and have to say “one and not more” if they want to mean just one

this is fine but the English take of using “a(n), one” to mean “some possibly discriminate thing” yet “an-y” to mean “one indiscriminately” sure is a Take

“one-ly one” of course being an antonym of “an-y one”
