Meanings

1. 1
   adv

   in no way or manner; not at all, now chiefly archaic or literary

   The minor change was nowise sufficient to resolve the underlying dispute.

From Middle English nowyse or no wyse, formed from no and wise in its older sense 'way or manner.' It therefore means literally 'in no manner.' Once ordinary, it is now mainly archaic or literary.
