Explanation
Entirely means completely or fully. It shows that something is done in a whole way, without leaving anything out. For example, if you are entirely happy, it means you feel completely happy. If a room is entirely clean, it means it is fully clean. People use “entirely” to emphasise that there is no part missing or nothing left unfinished. It can be used in positive or negative sentences, like “I do not agree entirely” or “She is entirely ready for the trip”.
