Entire means all of it, with nothing left out. She ate an entire pizza. The entire street lost power. He spent the entire afternoon looking for the keys that were in his coat.
It leans a little harder than whole, and it likes to stand in front of the noun: the entire building, my entire family, the entire point. It will not sit after the verb, so a cake is whole, never entire. Entirely is the adverb for completely: entirely my fault, not entirely true. The noun entirety turns up in one phrase worth knowing, in its entirety, meaning all of something taken together, as when a report is published in its entirety rather than in pieces.

“The entire village turned out for the funeral.”
Also accepted in games: whole, complete
Entire came through Middle English entere from Anglo-Norman entier and Latin integrum, from integer, whole. That makes it a close relative of two words you already know: integer, a whole number, and integrity, the state of being undivided. Whole and unbroken sits underneath all three.
