Etymology: The word "no" is one of the oldest in English, and its shape hides a double origin. The interjection and adverb descend from an Old English "nā", a contraction of "ne" ("not") and "ā" ("ever"), so its literal sense was "not ever" or "never." The adjective and pronoun sense, meaning "not any," comes from a different source: a reduced form of "none," from Old English "nān," which was itself "ne" plus "ān" ("one"). Thus "none" and "no" are etymologically "not one," and the two streams converged in Middle English until "no" took over the general negative work. The Old English forms also show how widely this family spread. Scots "nae," Dutch "nee," and German "nein" all descend from related Germanic negatives, and the Norse "nei" is part of the same branch. Scandinavian and Low German cognates preserve the older double-negative logic, in which a "not" and a "one" combined into a single denial.
