livelong
Through the entirety
Livelong is an emphatic form of long, used almost exclusively in the phrase the livelong day, meaning all day long.
The word adds emotional weight—suggesting time that feels endless or is devoted entirely to something: She worked the livelong day.
The spelling reflects folk etymology; the original was "lief long," meaning dear or beloved, though that sense has been lost.
