Some may come from Germany (3)

I believe the answer is:

any

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'some' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)

'come from germany' is the wordplay.
'ANY' is hidden within the letters.
But, I'm uncertain how the hidden word is indicated.

'may' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for any that I've seen before include "One, no matter which" , "At all; in some degree" , "Several" , "'Whatever'" , "One, some, every or all without specification" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
