French word meaning 'all' or 'every', used before masculine plural nouns. It indicates the entirety of a group or collection.
From Latin totus meaning 'whole, entire, complete'. The word evolved through Old French and retained its fundamental meaning of totality or completeness throughout its linguistic development.
Tous is one of those deceptively simple French words that English speakers often mispronounce - the 's' is silent when it's an adjective, but pronounced when it's a pronoun! It's the linguistic equivalent of a chameleon, changing its sound based on its grammatical role.
