at no time

Not even once

At no time means never—used for emphatic denial or to stress that something didn't happen even once: At no time did I agree to those terms.

The phrase often appears in formal statements or legal contexts where precision matters.

When placed at the beginning of a sentence, it triggers subject-verb inversion: At no time was the patient left unattended.
