   syn: all; total; complete; entire; integral; undivided;
        uninjured; unimpaired; unbroken; healthy.

   usage: whole, total, entire, complete. when we use
          the word whole, we refer to a thing as made up of
          parts, none of which are wanting; as, a whole week; a
          whole year; the whole creation. when we use the word
          total, we have reference to all as taken together, and
          forming a single totality; as, the total amount; the
          total income. when we speak of a thing as entire, we
          have no reference to parts at all, but regard the
          thing as an integer, i. e., continuous or unbroken;
          as, an entire year; entire prosperity. when we speak
          of a thing as complete, there is reference to some
          progress which results in a filling out to some end or
          object, or a perfected state with no deficiency; as,
          complete success; a complete victory.
