Abundance \A*bun"dance\ ([.a]*b[u^]n"dans), n. [OE.
(h)abundaunce, abundance, F. abondance, L. abundantia, fr.
abundare. See {Abound}.]
An overflowing fullness; ample sufficiency; great plenty;
profusion; copious supply; superfluity; wealth: -- strictly
applicable to quantity only, but sometimes used of number.

It is lamentable to remember what abundance of noble
blood hath been shed with small benefit to the
Christian state. --Raleigh.

Syn: Exuberance; plenteousness; plenty; copiousness;
overflow; riches; affluence; wealth.

Usage: {Abundance}, {Plenty}, {Exuberance}. These words rise
upon each other in expressing the idea of fullness.
Plenty denotes a sufficiency to supply every want; as,
plenty of food, plenty of money, etc. Abundance
express more, and gives the idea of superfluity or
excess; as, abundance of riches, an abundance of wit
and humor; often, however, it only denotes plenty in a
high degree. Exuberance rises still higher, and
implies a bursting forth on every side, producing
great superfluity or redundance; as, an exuberance of
mirth, an exuberance of animal spirits, etc.
