Superabundant describes something that exists in a very large amount — more than enough, more than normal, sometimes more than anyone can use. It is the adjective that goes with the noun 'superabundance'. If food is abundant, there is plenty; if it is superabundant, there is so much that some will be left over. You can use it before a noun ('superabundant energy', 'superabundant rainfall') or after 'be' ('the fish were superabundant that year'). The word is formal and . In ordinary speech people say 'way too much', 'tons of', or just 'so much'; superabundant belongs to written English — science writing, history, essays, literary description. It works for things you can count and things you cannot, and it is often used about nature: superabundant plant life, superabundant sunshine. It can also describe a quality in a person, usually a warm one — superabundant kindness, superabundant enthusiasm — where the picture is of something pouring out of a person and spilling over onto everyone around.
過剩的、極為充裕的(多到滿出來)
組成super- (超過、在…之上) + abundant (充裕的、大量的). Latin super means 'above', so the word means going above merely abundant. Abundant traces to Latin abundare, 'to overflow'.
