Information
Coming from the word 少(すこ)し (a little bit), すこしも~ない is an expression which translates almost exactly to 'not even a little bit (A)' in English. Due to this, it indicates that there is 'no (A)', '(A) never happens', or 'not (A) at all', depending on whether a verb or an adjective is the word that is being negated. すこしも can come at the beginning of the sentence, or directly before the word/statement it is referring to.
  • 今日(きょう)人(ひと)多(おお)いからすこしも離(はな)れない
    There are a lot of people today, so don't stray off. Not even a little bit.
  • 何(なに)このケーキ、すこしもおいしくない
    What is this cake, it's not even a little good!
  • 彼女(かのじょ)彼氏(かれし)すこしもイケメンではない
    Her boyfriend is not even a little handsome.
Fun Fact
This construction is another example of how the particle expresses that the word before it is surprising in some way, or unexpected. This was briefly discussed in the Number + も grammar point.
  • 今月(こんげつ)お金(かね)すこしもない
    I don't have any money this month either.
Here we can see that is highlighting 少(すこ)し as being 'surprising'. This is where the 'not even!' meaning comes from.
