pronoun
anything
EN-ee-thing/ˈeniθɪŋ/
Any thing, without restriction.
The person can choose anything from the objects spread across the table.
Etymology
Thing once meant an assembly and probably broadened through the idea of a matter discussed there. Combined with any, that broad meaning leaves the object, event, or action unspecified.
In context
