Forms: α. Middle English–1500s enter(e, Middle English–1500s entier(e, -tyer(e, (Middle English entre, Middle English–1600s enteer(e), 1600s entyre, 1500s– entire. β. Middle English intier, Middle English–1500s intere, Middle English–1600s intyre, 1500s Scottish inteir, 1500s–1800s intire.
Etymology: < Old French entier, entir = Provençal entier, entieyr, Catalan enter, Spanish entero, Italian intero, Portuguese inteiro < Latin inˈtegrum, < in not + *tag- root of tangĕre to touch.
