      2. Any. [Obs.] [bd]Without all remedy.[b8] --Shak.
  
      Note: When the definite article [bd]the,[b8] or a possessive

      (b) A phrase much used by way of enforcement or emphasis,
            usually in negative or interrogative sentences, and

            thy father at all miss me.[b8] --1 Sam. xx. 6.
  
      {Over all}, everywhere. [Obs.] --Chaucer.
  
      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.
