(all) the better to (do something)
Easier or more effective to do something as a result. A: "Unfortunately, you're first project is going to be pretty detailed and labor-intensive." B: "That's all right—all the better to learn the company's data-entry system." A: "Grandma, your glasses are so big!" B: "The better to see you with, my dear."
the better to —
so as to — better. 1986 Peter Mathiessen Men's Lives Francis ran both motors with their housings off, the better to tinker with them.
