all-encompassing
Leaving nothing out
All-encompassing means including or covering everything relevant, leaving nothing out.
The term describes things that are comprehensive or total in scope: an all-encompassing worldview, an all-encompassing sense of dread.
It often implies something so thorough it dominates or absorbs everything else within its domain.
