completely

From start to finish

Completely means fully, entirely, without anything left out or undone.

It emphasizes totality: The project is completely finished, I completely forgot.

The word often intensifies adjectives: completely exhausted, completely different.

Sometimes used for emphasis where "entirely" would be more precise, but the slight exaggeration is understood: You're completely right.
