Kanji 等 etc., and so forth, class (first) Related words 何ら is a formal, literary adverb used only with negatives to mean 'not at all', while 全く can express the same negation but also stands alone in positive sentences to mean 'truly' or 'completely'.
全然 is the common, everyday word for 'not at all' with negatives, whereas 何ら is stiffer and typically appears in written or formal contexts like contracts and legal text.
一切 emphasizes 'entirely, without exception' and pairs with negatives just like 何ら, but it also works as a noun meaning 'everything', a use 何ら lacks.
少しも is a more colloquial way to say '(not) at all' with negatives, while 何ら is more formal and emphatic.
Etymology Compound of 何 (nan, 'what') + ら (ra, pluralizing suffix). The kanji 等 is an ateji for the suffix.
