无，虚无，空洞（自17世纪）
- 2000, Gregg Easterbrook, “Review: The Quest for Quarks”, 出自 The Wilson Quarterly, 卷 24, 期 1，頁號 110:
  Paeans and even poems have been written to the esoteric nature of the smallest building blocks of matter: how they manifest as everywhere and nowhere, seem to have come out of emptiness, and at the ultimate level seem to be distilled from pure nihility.

(棄用，可數) 不存在的事物（18-19世纪）
- 1788, Hester Thrale Piozzi, Thraliana, 26 December:
  Della Crusca says all past Actions are Nihilities; & that the immediate Instant is the whole of human Existence—A bad Accᵗ of it surely!
