nadie
/ˈnadje/ · A1 · pron
no one
From Latin (homines) nati: (people) born — not a born soul = nobody
Nadie comes from Latin nati, meaning born ones. Spanish used it in negatives like not a born soul came, and the negative sense stuck to the word itself. Sound hook: NAH-dyeh, close to nada (nothing) — nada for things, nadie for people.
