完整的那一整塊
這一族直接貼著核心畫面:東西全部收攏之後所形成的那一塊。看它的形狀就是「整體」,數它的內容就是「總數」。
noun · C1
The whole of something, taken as one complete thing instead of as separate parts. You use it when you want to make clear that nothing has been left out.
整體;全部
One way to hold this word: everything of one kind gathered in, with nothing left outside. Once the gathering is complete you can either look at the shape it makes, or count what is in it — and totality covers both.
From total plus the noun-forming ending -ity, so literally the state of being total.
由 total(全部的)加上名詞字尾 -ity(狀態)而來,字面上是「全部的狀態」。
