   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

      burst in two, or asunder.
