nowhere
Not any location
Nowhere means not in or to any place: The keys were nowhere to be found.
It can describe a remote or insignificant location: a town in the middle of nowhere.
To get nowhere or go nowhere is to make no progress.
Nowhere near means not at all close: We're nowhere near finished.
Something that comes out of nowhere arrives unexpectedly.
