Exegesis
This negation is intensified by the repetition ēn gam-echad {גַּם־אֶחָֽד | gam-ʾe-ḥāḏ} ‘there is not even one,’ with gam ‘even’ and echad ‘one’ heightening the absoluteness of the judgment. The Hebrew structure front-loads the universal subject and uses parallel negations to underscore the total depravity of humanity.
Root and etymology
ʾ-ḥ-daleph–chet–dalet
“one, single”
In context — Psalm 14:3
All have turned aside; together they have become corrupt. There is no one who does good, not even one.
