entirety (in the . . . ) adv.: holus-bolus
[This word is used in two related but slightly distinct ways, although they are sometimes interchangeable. One is “in the entirety,” which is the sense given here. The other is “all at once” or “simultaneously”.]
In subsequent years, [the Israeli group] Peace Now (which in 1984 was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize) remained formally outside of the Knesset as a non-governmental organization. It supported the peace moves of the Rabin government virtually holus-bolus from 1992, and it was equally . . . active in opposition, from 1996, to the Netanyahu government policies.
