The word "plentiful" originates from the Middle English term "plentif," which derives from the Old French "plentif" or "plentueux," meaning "abundant." This, in turn, comes from the Latin word "plentus," meaning "full" or "filled." The suffix "-ful," meaning "full of," was added in English to create the modern form of the word. Overall, "plentiful" conveys the sense of being filled with abundance.
