The structure is a dialectal pronunciation of "naught" or "nought" (nothing), with the vowel shifted and the final consonant softened. It is used in British English, particularly in Northern England (especially Yorkshire, Lancashire, and Manchester), to mean nothing or not anything. People typically say "There's nowt wrong with that" or "I've got nowt to do today." The term originated in Old English "nawiht" (nothing), preserved in Northern dialects, and remains a strong regional marker of the North of England, opposite of "owt" (anything).
