The whole quantity, extent, duration, amount, quality, or degree of; the whole; the whole number of; any whatever; every; as, all the wheat; all the land; all the year; all the strength; all happiness; all abundance; loss of all power; beyond all doubt; you will see us all (or all of us). [ 1913 Webster ]

Prove all things: hold fast that which is good. 1 Thess. v. 21. [ 1913 Webster ]

2. Any. [ Obs. ] “Without all remedy.” Shak. [ 1913 Webster ]

☞ When the definite article “the, ” or a possessive or a demonstrative pronoun, is joined to the noun that all qualifies, all precedes the article or the pronoun; as, all the cattle; all my labor; all his wealth; all our families; all your citizens; all their property; all other joys. [ 1913 Webster ]

This word, not only in popular language, but in the Scriptures, often signifies, indefinitely, a large portion or number, or a great part. Thus, all the cattle in Egypt died, all Judea and all the region round about Jordan, all men held John as a prophet, are not to be understood in a literal sense, but as including a large part, or very great numbers.

2. Even; just. (Often a mere intensive adjunct.) [ Obs. or Poet. ] [ 1913 Webster ]

All as his straying flock he fed. Spenser. [ 1913 Webster ]

A damsel lay deploring
All on a rock reclined. Gay. [ 1913 Webster ]

All to, or
All-to. In such phrases as “all to rent, ” “all to break, ” “all-to frozen, ” etc., which are of frequent occurrence in our old authors, the all and the to have commonly been regarded as forming a compound adverb, equivalent in meaning to entirely, completely, altogether. But the sense of entireness lies wholly in the word all (as it does in “all forlorn, ” and similar expressions), and the to properly belongs to the following word, being a kind of intensive prefix (orig. meaning asunder and answering to the LG. ter-, HG. zer-). It is frequently to be met with in old books, used without the all. Thus Wyclif says, “The vail of the temple was to rent:” and of Judas, “He was hanged and to-burst the middle:” i. e., burst in two, or asunder. --

n. The whole number, quantity, or amount; the entire thing; everything included or concerned; the aggregate; the whole; totality; everything or every person; as, our all is at stake. [ 1913 Webster ]

Over all, everywhere. [ Obs. ] Chaucer. [ 1913 Webster ]

☞ All is much used in composition to enlarge the meaning, or add force to a word. In some instances, it is completely incorporated into words, and its final consonant is dropped, as in almighty, already, always: but, in most instances, it is an adverb prefixed to adjectives or participles, but usually with a hyphen, as, all-bountiful, all-glorious, allimportant, all-surrounding, etc. In others it is an adjective; as, allpower, all-giver. Anciently many words, as, alabout, alaground, etc., were compounded with all, which are now written separately. [ 1913 Webster ]

conj. [ Orig. all, adv., wholly: used with though or if, which being dropped before the subjunctive left all as if in the sense although. ] Although; albeit. [ Obs. ] [ 1913 Webster ]
