Plentiful

/ˈplɛntɪfəl/ adjective

Definition

Existing or available in large quantities; abundant and more than enough.

Etymology

From 'plenty' (Old French 'plente,' from Latin 'plenitas' meaning fullness), plus the adjective suffix '-ful.' The Latin root means 'full,' which connects to the idea of abundance.

Kelly Says

Plentiful is built on the Latin word for 'full'—the same root gives us 'complete,' 'supplement,' and 'replete'—showing how the concept of fullness and sufficiency traveled through centuries of languages!
