toatăall, whole (feminine agreement of tot)Etymology
Totdeauna is a native Romanian formation, not a single word inherited whole from Latin. It fuses tot (all, every), the preposition de, the article a, and una (the feminine form of one), giving something like all-of-a-piece. The sense shifted from a phrase about wholeness or singleness to the everyday meaning of always. Its components trace back to Latin totus and unus, both well attested Romance words.
