More About No One
What does no one mean?
No one means the same thing as nobodyâno person or not anyone, as in No one knows or Trust no one.
No one is used as a pronoun. Unlike most other pronouns, which are used in place of referring to a person or thing by name, no one refers to a nonexistent person.
When itâs used as the subject of a clause or sentence, itâs always used with a singular verb, even if it does the job of referring to multiple people, as in I invited 12 people, but no one is coming (not no one are coming).
Sometimes, itâs hyphenated as no-one, which reflects the fact that itâs typically used as if it were one wordâitâs almost always interchangeable with nobody. (The form noone isnât commonly used, probably because itâs hard to read.)
Sometimes, you might see the words no and one appear together in a way thatâs not intended to be a single term, as in No one person should have that much power.
The opposite of no one can be thought to be everyone or everybody.
Example: Everyone is talking about it, but no one actually saw it happen.
Where does no one come from?
The first records of the term no one come from around 1600. Itâs a simple combination of no and one, in which one refers to a person. For this reason, no one is always used in reference to people and never to things.
The words anyone, someone, and everyone use one in the same way.
No oneâs close synonym nobody is sometimes used to mean âan unimportant person,â as in I donât want to be a nobody, but no one isnât typically used in this way.
