altogether adverb 1. absolutely, quite, completely, totally, perfectly, fully, thoroughly, wholly, utterly, downright, one hundred per cent (informal) undisputedly, lock, stock and barrel adverb 2. completely, all, fully, entirely, comprehensively, thoroughly, wholly, every inch, one hundred per cent (informal) in every respect << OPPOSITE partially adverb 3. on the whole, generally, mostly, in general, collectively, all things considered, on average, for the most part, all in all, on balance, in toto (Latin) as a whole adverb 4. in total, in all, all told, taken together, in sum, everything included, in toto (Latin) USAGE The single-word form altogether should not be used as an alternative to all together because the meanings are very distinct. Altogether is an adverb meaning `absolutely' or, in a different sense, ` in total'. All together, however, means `all at the same time' or 'all in the same place'. The distinction can be seen in the following example: altogether there were six or seven families sharing the flat's facilities means ` in total', while there were six or seven families all together in one flat, means `all crowded in together'.

| Her behaviour, I confess, has been calculated to do away with such an idea; I have not detected the smallest impropriety in it--nothing of vanity, of pretension, of levity; and she is altogether so attractive that I should not wonder at his being delighted with her, had he known nothing of her previous to this personal acquaintance; but, against reason, against conviction, to be so well pleased with her, as I am sure he is, does really astonish me. He travelled over from America, merely a unit amongst the host of other passengers; yet his first action, on arriving at Liverpool, was to make use of privileges which belonged to an altogether different class of person, and culminated in his arrival at Euston in a special train with a dagger driven through his heart Soon afterwards, observing that he was an animal altogether deficient in spirit, he assumed such boldness as to put a bridle in his mouth, and to let a child drive him. |
