–noun 
1. anything whatever; any part: for aught I know.  

–adverb
 2. Archaic. in any degree; at all; in any respect.  


The Columbia Guide to Standard American English

aught (pron., n., adv.)   
 
The pronoun is archaic except in the idiomatic for aught I know and similar uses; 

as a noun, it still means "zero" and stems from the faulty division of the words a naught into an aught; as an adverb aught is archaic (if in fact it isn’t a noun in this use): I don’t care aught for her now. 

Don’t confuse it with its homophone, the auxiliary ought. 


 
I hate to sound like an old man 'kids these days!' type but I'm so nostalgic for the early aughts. And that was not long ago. I long for Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings or Ang Lee's Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon when I watch action flicks.
