in totu


in toto - In all; completely; entirely; wholly.

I came across this term last night in Jacque Barzun's From Dawn to Decadence, which I strongly recommend. (I take exception to some of his conclusions, but he's worth disagreeing with.)

By the way, I'm still recuperating from your beating me on the draw re reductio ad absurdum. ;^D
