Entire is an adjective meaning 'taking all parts or elements into account; whole' or describing something complete or full in scope. In everyday use it often emphasizes totality, as in “the entire team,” while in formal contexts it can denote exclusivity or completeness. It can also function as an adverb in the sense of “completely” (though less common in formal writing). Its pronunciation features a stressed first syllable and a final schwa in many contexts.
