あり+と: What does と do when preceded by a verb stem?


In the following sentence:

> 彼女はそれを手に入れるためにありとあらゆる方法を試みた。  
>  She tried every possible means to get it.

**と** is preceded by **あり** , which I take to be the **verb stem of ある**. I do
not see what this **ありと** adds to the sentence.

Usually, when I see a **と** that I cannot immediately identify, my first
attempt is to think of it as either a *conditional marker, or a *particle that
connects two clauses to describe a sequential past event. One of them usually
applies.  
*Layman's attempts at describing grammar

However, in both of the abovementioned cases, と has to follow the dictionary
form of verbs, not the stem. Therefore, this is something different.

Could someone please help me identify what this grammar point is?
よろしくお願いいたします！




「あり **と** あらゆる」 means the same as 「あり **と** ある」 -- " ** _every single ~~_** ",
" ** _every possible ~~_** ", etc.

So, what is this 「と」? As usual, monolingual dictionaries are our best friends.

meaning:

> 「あり－あらゆる人」 「生き－し生ける物」

Thus, it might be faster to remember 「ありとあらゆる」 as a fixed expression rather
than analysing it grammatically as this 「と」 is not even used outside of these
idiomatic expressions.

The other example 「生き **と** し生けるもの」, by the way, means " ** _all animate
things_** ". A cool phrase to know if you ask me.
