Kenkyusha's New Japanese-English Dictionary (5th Edition)

It seems to mean "not at all" with a negative verb but "totally" with an affirmative verb. I also think this should be linked to "おおよそ".

The following is copied from Kenkyusha's New Japanese-English Dictionary (5th Edition).

3 【およそ】 〔まったく〕 completely; entirely; quite; altogether.
 およそ何の役にも立たない　be entirely useless
・およそ理屈に合わない　be  totally [absurdly] illogical.
 10 億円なんて金はおよそわれわれには縁がない.　A billion yen―that's about a billion miles out of our reach, too.
・そんなことをしたっておよそ意味がない.　It would be quite pointless for you to do such a thing.
・およそばかげた話だ.　That's sheer nonsense. ｜ It's the height of absurdity.
・お前は小さいころからおよそ手のかからない子だった.　From the time you were little, you never gave any bother at all.
