Abounder

/əˈbaʊndər/ noun

Definition

One who or that which abounds; something present in large quantities or abundance.

Etymology

From abound (Old French 'abonder,' from Latin 'abundare') plus the agent noun suffix '-er,' creating a noun for something that abounds.

Kelly Says

English lets us turn verbs into people or things with '-er'—so an 'abounder' is literally whatever is doing the abounding, though this form is now quite archaic.
