Note: One is often used in forming compound words, the
meaning of which is obvious; as, one-armed, one-celled,
one-eyed, one-handed, one-hearted, one-horned,
one-idead, one-leaved, one-masted, one-ribbed,
one-story, one-syllable, one-stringed, one-winged, etc.
All one, of the same or equal nature, or consequence; as,
he says that it is all one what course you take. --Shak. All one Note: In the ancient phrases, all too dear, all too much, all

or becomes intensive.
2. Even; just. (Often a mere intensive adjunct.) [Obs. or
Poet.]

--Gay.
All to, or All-to. In such phrases as ``all to rent,'
``all to break,' ``all-to frozen,' 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 ``all forlorn,' 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, ``The vail of the temple was to rent:' and
of Judas, ``He was hanged and to-burst the middle:' i.
e., burst in two, or asunder.
