The Meaning of 'By No Means'

By no means indicates an impossibility or strong denial. For instance, it's used to emphasize that something is absolutely not going to happen. This phrase strengthens declarations and adds intensity to statements, as seen in examples like 'It is by no means possible for us to hire another employee before the end of q3.'
