Etymology

From Middle English none, noon, non (“not one”), from Old English nān (“not one, not any, none”), from Proto-West Germanic *nain, from Proto-Germanic *nainaz (“none, nought, nothing”), equivalent to ne (“not”) + one. (Regarding the different phonological development of only and one, see the note in one.)
Cognate with Scots nane (“none”), Saterland Frisian naan, neen (“no, not any, none”), West Frisian neen & gjin (“no, none”), Dutch neen & geen (“no, none”), Low German nēn, neen, keen (“no, none, no one”), German nein & kein (“no, none”), Latin nōn (“not”).

From the first sense, since they respond “none” when asked about their religion; also a play on words on nun.

From French none, from Latin nōna (“ninth; ninth hour”).

Webster’s 1913

  1. adjective No one; not one; not anything; --frequently used also partitively, or as a plural, not any. There is none that doeth good; no, not one. Ps. xiv. 3.
  2. adjective No; not any; --used adjectively before a vowel, in old style; as, thou shalt have none assurance of thy life. None of, not at all; not; nothing of; --used emphatically. "They knew that I was none of the register that entered their admissions in the universities." Fuller.
