  What it means

  Literally “through and through.” Means completely, thoroughly, right through — “through and through,” “to the core.” E.g. “przemoczony na wskroś” — soaked through and through; “na wskroś uczciwy” — honest to the core.

  Vocabulary

  • wskroś — through and through (archaic preposition)

  Grammar note

  'Na wskroś' uses the accusative after 'na'. 'Wskroś' is an archaic preposition surviving in this fixed phrase.
