The term “thoroughly” functions as a powerful intensifier in literary language, emphasizing the complete or exhaustive nature of actions, emotions, or states. Authors employ it to signal total transformation or deep immersion—whether a character is “thoroughly frightened” in a moment of panic ([1]), has been “thoroughly plundered” in acts of malfeasance ([2]), or experiences joy or exhaustion in an all-encompassing manner ([3], [4]). It also underscores meticulous attention to detail in intellectual and practical realms, as seen when one is “thoroughly acquainted” with a subject ([5], [6]) or when a law, a tactic, or even a cure is administered “thoroughly” ([7], [8]). In both descriptive narratives and analytical treatises, the word enriches the intensity of the message—whether painting vivid imagery of a soaking rainstorm ([9]) or affirming complete confidence in one’s mind ([10]). Such usage, from historical documents to modern literary fiction ([11], [12], [13]), attests to its enduring appeal as a tool for conveying totality and precision in both emotion and action.
