as much
To equal degree
As much indicates an equal quantity or degree, or serves as a way of naming or characterizing something: I thought as much means "I suspected that was the case." It often appears in comparisons: I don't earn as much as she does.
The phrase can also signal concession: As much as I'd like to help, I can't.
To say something without so much as a word or glance emphasizes complete absence of even minimal acknowledgment.
