In Its Entirety
Whole, Wholly, Entirely
adverb
If you go to (ごと) a circle, you need to go to it in its entirety. That means you have to circle around the whole thing. Otherwise, it isn't even a circle. It's like a line or a squiggle or something.
You often hear this word when talking about food – like when biting into a whole apple or accidentally swallowing a grape without chewing. But it's not just for food: you can also use it to talk about memorizing a whole book from beginning to end, for example.
