Unabridged, translated to Latin (2,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

in total

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'unabridged' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'translated to latin' is the wordplay.
'translated' indicates anagramming the letters.
'to'+'latin'='tolatin'
'tolatin' with letters rearranged gives 'IN TOTAL'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for in total that I've seen before include "All told" , "Altogether" .)
