nowhence

== English == === Etymology === Unattested as Middle English *nowhennes, but ultimately from Old English nāhwanon. It may be reconstructed by analogy to nowhither from Middle English nowhider, from Old English nāhwider. Analyzable as no +‎ whence. === Adverb === nowhence (not comparable) From no place; from nowhere. 1868, George MacDonald, The Seaboard Parish, serialized in The Sunday Magazine, June 1, page 538 They come nowhence, and they go nowhither. But now I see them and all things as ever moving symbols of the motions of man's spirit and destiny.
