abund
Comes from the Latin verb 'abundare', meaning 'to overflow' or 'to be plentiful'. The root combines the prefix 'ab-' (meaning 'away, from') and 'undare' (from 'unda', meaning 'wave'), literally suggesting 'to overflow like waves'. It conveys the core idea of overflowing quantity, copiousness, or rich supply. Examples include abundant, abundance, abound, redundant, inundate.
