   note: 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.
