arrant
Totally without qualification
Arrant means thoroughgoing or out-and-out, used to emphasize how bad something is: arrant nonsense, arrant coward, arrant fool.
The word is literary and old-fashioned, appearing almost exclusively with negative nouns.
It originally meant wandering or vagabond before settling into its intensifying role.
