pronoun
archaicpoetic
An old word for whatever or anything that, used to refer to any thing at all without limit.
Whatso is a shortened relative of whatsoever, and it belongs to the older English of the Bible, Spenser and early translations of Homer. It introduces a clause that covers everything of a kind, so whatso he found means whatever he found. Modern writers use it only for an old-fashioned or poetic effect, and ordinary speech has no place for it.
