Etymology

The word "amply" originates from the Latin "amplus," meaning "large" or "abundant," combined with the Old English adverbial suffix "-ly," which turns adjectives into adverbs. Over time, "amply" evolved to convey the idea of something being done in a plentiful or generous manner, retaining its core sense of abundance from its Latin root.
