What is the meaning of 一体?

[Nipad]

I just learned this word but I don’t get it.
WK says the meaning is “The heck”. Im not a native english speaker so I have no idea what it means.
Is it like ‘wtf’ or something?

Also the other meaning is “in the world” which confuses me even more… 一体

pls help.

Basically, except it’s just the “tf” part. To get the “w” you need to add that.

一体何 = what the heck, what in the world
一体どこ = where on earth

Et cetera
