a whole host of

[ESC85]

I'm sorry, but i have no context. I just got this idiom from a paper.

what does "a whole host of" mean?

I guess 'pretty much'?

 

[Lexiphile]

Yes, it means "lots of" or "many of."

I have a whole host of reasons why I can't make this answer any longer.
No time...
Fingers are tired...
Something else to do...
Computer broke down...
No internet connection...
