What does NOWISE mean in Scrabble?
adverb
archaic
In no way at all; not in any manner or degree.
Nowise is a stiff, old-fashioned way of saying not at all, and it turns up mostly in historical novels, legal prose and deliberately formal writing. It began as the phrase no wise, where wise meant manner, the same element found in likewise and otherwise. A speaker today would simply say in no way, so nowise carries a faint flavour of the nineteenth century. It sits close to noway and noways, which mean the same thing.
