Definition
俱 (jū) is a literary adverb meaning 'completely, entirely' or 'all together'. It is mostly used in formal or written Chinese, often in set phrases like 一应俱全 (everything is available) or 万事俱备 (everything is ready). Because it belongs to classical Chinese, you will encounter it more in historical texts, idioms, or official documents than in everyday conversation.
