From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
  
  
      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 along}. See under {Along}.
  
      {All and some}, individually and collectively, one and all.
            [Obs.] [bd]Displeased all and some.[b8] --Fairfax.
  
      {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.

               derived from the {rock pigeon} ({Columba livia}) of
               Europe and Asia; the {turtledove} of Europe, celebrated
               for its sweet, plaintive note, is {C. turtur} or
               {Turtur vulgaris}; the {ringdove}, the largest of
               European species, is {C. palumbus}; the {Carolina
               dove}, or {Mourning dove}, is {Zenaidura macroura}; the
