かいくれ

adverb

(not) at all; wholly; entirely

Dated adverb used with a negative sentence to mean 'not at all' or 'not in the least'. The positive glosses 'wholly', 'entirely' reflect the literal meaning but the word is practically always used in negative contexts.

  There is not the slightest room for doubt.

• 彼かれの話はなしはかいくれ信しんじられなかった。

  I could not believe his story at all.
