          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

          complete success; a complete victory.
