aught
Cipher from antiquity
Aught means anything at all, used in negative or questioning contexts: for aught I know, if aught remains.
The word is archaic or literary.
Aught also means zero, especially when reading numbers aloud: nineteen-aught-six for 1906.
The aughts sometimes names the decade 2000–2009.
