Origin: Formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: English na , no adv.1, wight n.; ne adv.1, aught pron.
Etymology: Either < na, variant of no adv.1 + wight n., or < ne adv.1 + aught pron. (see α. forms at aught pron., adj., and adv.). Compare nought pron., n., adv., and adj. As adjective, developed from predicative use of the noun.In northern Middle English texts the full form nawight may represent Old English nānwiht rather than nāwiht . The form nȝt is attested in late Middle English as an abbreviation. For the comparative history of naught and nought see nought pron., n., adv., and adj.
A. pron.
1. Nothing, not anything; = nought pron. 1a. Now archaic and literary.
