kaboodle

The entire lot

Kaboodle means a collection or bunch, almost always appearing in the phrase the whole kit and caboodle—meaning everything, the entire lot.

The kit and kaboodle are redundant; both refer to a group of things.

The word rarely appears alone: She packed up the whole kaboodle and left.
