+ '''haudquāquam''' (adverb; not comparable)^(OLD 2012)

+ It is also spelled ''hauquāquam'' and written separately.^(OLD 2012)^(Wiktionary)

+

+ ==Etymology==

+ It is [[af|la|haud|quāquam|t1=not|t2=in any way]], the second part being the ablative feminine of [[m|la|quisquam|t=anyone]].^(OLD 2012)^(TLL)^(Wiktionary) De Vaan calls the origin of [[m|la|haud]] uncertain; he reports Eichner's proposal of an adjective meaning false or lacking, perhaps [[ine-pro|*gʰou̯-i-dʰó-]], which would be related to [[sga|gáu|t=falsehood]].^(de Vaan 2008)

+

+ ==Earliest recorded meaning==

+ The TLL finds it first in Ennius.^(TLL)^(Köbler 2010) Accius has a man of no mean birth, a line Cicero quotes.^(TLL)

+

+ ==Semantic evolution==

+ It means by no means, not at all, and the TLL equates it with [[nequaquam|alt=nēquāquam]] and [[neutiquam]].^(TLL)^(OLD 2012) It mostly denies an adjective or adverb: Sallust writes that by no means equal glory follows the writer and the doer of deeds.^(TLL) The TLL finds it in Terence, Accius, Lucretius, Sallust, Virgil, Curtius, Tacitus and Gellius, often in Livy; in Cicero's ''De oratore'' only in the speeches of Catulus and Scaevola.^(TLL) Some manuscripts spell it ⟨hautquāquam⟩.^(TLL)
