      Note: In the ancient phrases, all too dear, all too much, all
               so long, etc., this word retains its appropriate sense
               or becomes intensive.
  
      2. Even; just. (Often a mere intensive adjunct.) [Obs. or
            Poet.]
  
                     All as his straying flock he fed.      --Spenser.
  
                     A damsel lay deploring All on a rock reclined.
                                                                              --Gay.
  
      {All to}, [or] {All-to}. In such phrases as [bd]all to
            rent,[b8] [bd]all to break,[b8] [bd]all-to frozen,[b8]
            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 [bd]all forlorn,[b8]
            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, [bd]The vail of the
            temple was to rent:[b8] and of Judas, [bd]He was hanged
            and to-burst the middle:[b8] i. e., burst in two, or
            asunder.

      {All and some}, individually and collectively, one and all.

      {All but}.
            (a) Scarcely; not even. [Obs.] --Shak.
            (b) Almost; nearly. [bd]The fine arts were all but
                  proscribed.[b8] --Macaulay.
  
      {All hollow}, entirely, completely; as, to beat any one all
            hollow. [Low]
  
      {All one}, the same thing in effect; that is, wholly the same
            thing.
  
      {All over}, over the whole extent; thoroughly; wholly; as,
            she is her mother all over. [Colloq.]
  
      {All the better}, wholly the better; that is, better by the
            whole difference.
  
      {All the same}, nevertheless. [bd]There they [certain
            phenomena] remain rooted all the same, whether we
            recognize them or not.[b8] --J. C. Shairp. [bd]But Rugby
            is a very nice place all the same.[b8] --T. Arnold. -- See
            also under {All}, n.

   Allelomorph \Al*le"lo*morph\, n. [Gr. [?] of one another + Gr.
      [?] form.] (Biol.)
      One of the pure unit characters commonly existing singly or
      in pairs in the germ cells of Mendelian hybrids, and

      themselves. Allelomorphs which under certain circumstances
      are themselves compound are called {hypallelomorphs}. See

               As we know that the several unit characters are of such
               a nature that any one of them is capable of
               independently displacing or being displaced by one or
               more alternative characters taken singly, we may
               recognize this fact by naming such characters
               allelomorphs.                                          --Bateson.
