From The Collaborative International Dictionary of English v.0.44 [gcide]:
Abundant \A*bun"dant\, adjective [OE. (h)abundant, aboundant, F. abondant, fr. L. abudans, p. pr. of abundare. See {Abound}.] Fully sufficient; plentiful; in copious supply; -- followed by in, rarely by with. ''Abundant in goodness and truth.'' --Exod. xxxiv. 6.
{Abundant number} (Math.), a number, the sum of whose aliquot parts exceeds the number itself. Thus, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, the aliquot parts of 12, make the number 16. This is opposed to a {deficient} number, as 14, whose aliquot parts are 1, 2, 7, the sum of which is 10; and to a {perfect} number, which is equal to the sum of its aliquot parts, as 6, whose aliquot parts are 1, 2., 3.
Syn: Ample; plentiful; copious; plenteous; exuberant; overflowing; rich; teeming; profuse; bountiful; liberal. See {Ample}.
From WordNet (r) 2.0 [wn]:
