over; the play is over; the master was out; his hat is
off.

over or cover; overhang, to hang above; overturn, to
turn so as to bring the underside towards the top;
overact, overreach, to act or reach beyond, implying

All \All\, adv.
1. Wholly; completely; altogether; entirely; quite; very; as,
all bedewed; my friend is all for amusement. ``And cheeks
all pale.'' --Byron.
[1913 Webster]
Note: In the ancient phrases, all too dear, all too much, all
so long, etc., this word retains its appropriate sense
or becomes intensive.
[1913 Webster]
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.
All along. See under Along.
All and some, individually and collectively, one and all.
[Obs.] ``Displeased all and some.'' --Fairfax.
All but.
(a) Scarcely; not even. [Obs.] --Shak.
(b) Almost; nearly. ``The fine arts were all but
proscribed.'' --Macaulay.
All hollow, entirely, completely; as, to beat any one all
hollow. [Low]
All one, the same thing in effect; that is, wholly the same
thing.
All over, over the whole extent; thoroughly; wholly; as,
she is her mother all over. [Colloq.]
All the better, wholly the better; that is, better by the
whole difference.
All the same, nevertheless. ``There they [certain
phenomena] remain rooted all the same, whether we
recognize them or not.'' --J. C. Shairp. ``But Rugby is a
very nice place all the same.'' --T. Arnold. -- See also
under All, n.
