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.

the same." --t. arnold. -- see also under all, n.
