Wholly for Dummies

Wholly is a word that we use to describe something that is complete or total. It means that something is not just a little bit, but completely, entirely, and fully. It can be used to talk about how someone is completely dedicated to something, like if they are wholly committed to their studies or to a project they are working on. It can also be used to describe something that is entirely in one place or one thing, like how a cake is made up of wholly ingredients – everything that goes into making the cake is all together in one place.

Let me give you an example to help you understand it even better. Imagine you have a puzzle, and you are trying to put all the pieces together to complete the picture. When you finally connect all the pieces and the whole picture is there in front of you, that is what we mean by wholly. It's like when all the pieces fit perfectly together and you have the complete and total picture, not just a few pieces. It's not just a little bit of the picture; it's the whole thing.

So, when we talk about something being wholly, it means that it is complete and total, with nothing missing or left out. It's like when you are giving your full attention to something, you are giving your whole self to it, not just a little bit. It's about putting all the pieces together to get the complete picture. Does that make sense to you?
