What does ENTIRE mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Complete in every part, with nothing missing or excluded.
Entire describes something taken as a single, undivided whole, as when a reader finishes an entire book in one sitting rather than only a chapter of it. The word often adds emphasis to a claim of completeness, as in the entire town turned out for the parade, stressing that nobody was left out. Botanists also use entire in a narrower technical sense, for a leaf edge that runs smooth and unbroken rather than being toothed or lobed. Across all these uses, entire keeps the same core idea of nothing missing and nothing left over.
