Etymology

From older 𑀓𑁄𑀘𑀺 (koci), from Sanskrit कश्चिद् m sg (kaścid, anything), from कः m sg (kaḥ, what, who) + चिद् (cid). In Sanskrit, this sequence regularly undergoes external sandhi and univerbation (-aḥ c- > -aśc-). Middle Indo-Aryan masculine nominative singular 𑀓𑁄𑀇 (koi) or 𑀓𑁄𑀘𑀺 (koci) was probably formed by analogy to other inflected forms of 𑀓𑀺𑀁𑀘𑀺 n sg (kiṃci), like 𑀓𑀸𑀇 f sg (kāi) and 𑀓𑁂𑀇 m pl (kei), on the basis that the Sanskrit masculine nominative singular ending -अः (-aḥ) regularly becomes Prakrit -𑀑 (-o). Other literature attributes this to influence from Sanskrit कोऽपि (kó’pi, whoever, whatever), from कः (kaḥ) + अपि (api).[1][2]
