Definition
面面俱到 is a set phrase (chengyu) meaning 'comprehensive and thorough, covering every aspect'. It emphasizes careful attention to every detail, unlike the more general adjective 全面 (comprehensive, all-round). It is often used after 得 as a complement (e.g., 做得面面俱到) to describe work or arrangements.
