How to Say "wholly" in Spanish
The Spanish word for “wholly” is “enteramente” — B1 level.
Examples

I am entirely in agreement with your proposal.
El éxito de la fiesta depende enteramente de la música.
The success of the party depends entirely on the music.

How it's built
In Spanish, you can turn many adjectives into 'how-to' words by taking the feminine form (the version that ends in -a) and adding '-mente' to the end.
Placement in a sentence
You usually place this word right before the adjective it describes (like 'enteramente nuevo') or after a verb to describe how an action is done.
Using the 'O' version
Mistake: “entero-mente”
Correction: enteramente. Even though the word for 'whole' is 'entero', you must use the feminine 'a' version when adding the '-mente' ending.
Confusing with 'entero'
Mistake: “La casa es enteramente.”
Correction: La casa está entera. Use 'entera' (adjective) to describe the object itself, and 'enteramente' (adverb) only to modify a verb or another adjective.
