Etymology

A yojijukugo formed by combining 一切 (all, everything) with 合切 (altogether, entirely), which itself is a compound of 合 (together) and 切 (cut/decide). The alternate form 一切合財 uses 財 (wealth) to emphasize material possessions. The exact historical derivation is uncertain, but the phrase has been used since the Edo period to mean 'absolutely everything'.
