喜樂美語
  1. 1豐富的；充裕的（文雅／舊說法）

    An old, rather literary word meaning : there is a lot of it, enough and more. You find it in poems, prayers, and older books — plenteous harvest, plenteous rain, a plenteous God. In ordinary speech people say , abundant, or simply plenty of. The meaning is warm and full, not sarcastic. Using it today makes you sound as if you have out of a hymn or a history play, which is sometimes the point.

組成From Middle English, from Old French plentiveus ('fertile, rich'), from plenté ('abundance') — the same path that gave English plenty. Further back, Latin plenitas ('fullness') from plenus ('full').
