Word Nuance & Usage

Used strictly as an objective pronoun (the object of a verb or preposition) in highly formal, legal, or archaic contexts; in modern English, it has been largely replaced by 'whomever' or 'whoever'. Avoid hypercorrection by using 'whomsoever' where a subject pronoun ('whosoever') is grammatically required within its own subordinate clause.
