Etymology

From Middle English total, from Old French total, from Medieval Latin tōtālis, from tōtus (“all, whole, entire”) + -ālis, the former element of unknown origin. Perhaps related to Oscan touto (“community, city-state”), Umbrian 𐌕𐌏𐌕𐌀𐌌 (totam, “tribe”, acc.), Old English þēod (“a nation, people, tribe”), from Proto-Indo-European *tewtéh₂ (“people”). More at English Dutch, English thede.

Meanings

    • Economics is a messy discipline: too fluid to be a science, too rigorous to be an art. Perhaps it is fitting that economists’ most-used metric, gross domestic product (GDP), is a tangle too. GDP measures the total value of output in an economic territory. Its apparent simplicity explains why it is scrutinised down to tenths of a percentage point every month. 2013 August 3, “Boundary problems”, in The Economist, volume 408, number 8847:
    • Carried somehow, somewhither, for some reason, on these surging floods, were these travelers,[…]. Even such a boat as the Mount Vernon offered a total deck space so cramped as to leave secrecy or privacy well out of the question, even had the motley and democratic assemblage of passengers been disposed to accord either. 1910, Emerson Hough, chapter II, in The Purchase Price: Or The Cause of Compromise, Indianapolis, Ind.: The Bobbs-Merrill Company, →OCLC:
  2. (used as an intensifier) Complete; absolute.
    • He is a total failure.
    • Air waid! Wights out! Total bwackout! 1942 November 21, A Tale of Two Kitties, spoken by Tweety:
  3. (of a function) Defined on all possible inputs.
    • The Ackermann function is one of the simplest and earliest examples of a total computable function that is not primitive recursive.
  4. (broadly, of a relation R on X × Y) Left total: Such that for every x in X there is a y in Y with x R y.
  5. (of a partial order ≤) Such that any two elements are comparable, i.e. for all a and b, either a ≤ b, or b ≤ a.
