nowhence

adv

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.

1. From no place; from nowhere.

   “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.”
