Everydeal

/ˌɛvəriˈdiːl/ noun

Definition

An archaic or dialect term meaning 'every bit' or 'every part of something', or more modernly, every transaction or agreement.

Etymology

Compound of 'every' and 'deal' (from Old English 'dæl', part or portion). The word blends two concepts: the distributive 'every' with 'deal' as a part or portion.

Kelly Says

This word captures how 'deal' once meant 'a portion or part' (still visible in 'a great deal'), making 'everydeal' literally mean 'every portion'—a concept modern English expresses with 'every bit'!
