The word "统统" is formed by reduplicating the character 统, which originally means "to unite" or "to gather", creating an adverb that intensifies the sense to "all" or "completely". This reduplication modifies the meaning from a verb to an adverb emphasizing totality, without altering the character's structure, which is a phonetic-semantic compound with the silk radical (纟) suggesting connection and the component 充 contributing to sound.
