核心畫面

From the word’s history

The supplied Wiktionary entry gives it as abundant + -ly, recorded from Middle English.

來源記的構詞是 abundant(充足的)加上副詞字尾 -ly,中古英語時期就有這個拼法。字本身講的就是「多」,所以兩個用法都可以回到同一個滿出來的畫面。

Wiktionary (kaikki extract supplied in this evidence packet), entry "abundantly": From Middle English abundantly, equivalent to abundant + -ly.
