Ich bin keineswegs müde, wir können gerne noch bleiben.
I am by no means tired; we can gladly stay a bit longer.
The word is made up of 'keines' and 'Weges' (an old genitive form of 'Weg', meaning way). Literally, it means 'in no way whatsoever.'
Das Ergebnis war keineswegs das, was wir erwartet hatten.
The result was by no means what we had expected.
'Keineswegs' (by no means) can stand at the beginning of a sentence in position 1. Then the conjugated verb follows directly after it. It can also stand after the verb in the middle of the sentence.
Keineswegs wollte ich Sie damit beleidigen.
By no means did I intend to offend you with that.
'Keineswegs' (by no means) belongs more to written language or a more formal style. It is a strong and emphatic form of negation.

by no means
Keineswegs and keinesfalls both express a very emphatic negation. Keineswegs usually rejects a statement or assumption, while keinesfalls emphasizes that something must not happen or apply under any circumstances. Keineswegs is suitable for correcting a claim; keinesfalls is particularly appropriate for categorically ruling something out.
Keineswegs ist der neue Plan so einfach, wie manche behaupten.
By no means is the new plan as simple as some people claim.
Keinesfalls darf der Fahrer die rote Ampel überfahren.
Under no circumstances may the driver run a red light.
