- 1豐富；濃郁（多指味道、色彩、文化的深厚）
Richness is the quality of being rich. This does not only mean having a lot of money — it is used far more often for something full and satisfying: the richness of a flavor (strong and deep, like dark chocolate), the richness of a color (deep and full, not pale), or the richness of a culture or experience (full of variety, history, and meaning). So richness usually describes depth and quality, not simply how much money someone has.
From the word’s history
From Middle English richenesse; rich + -ness.
由 rich「富有」加 -ness，中古英文已有 richenesse。
組成rich (having a lot of something good) + -ness (a suffix turning an adjective into a noun that names that quality).
