Abundance \A*bun"dance\, 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.
