Etymology

The word "plentitude" originates from the Latin plenitudo, derived from plenus (meaning "full"). The morpheme "plenti" reflects this root, conveying fullness or abundance, while the suffix "-tude" (from Latin -tudo) forms abstract nouns denoting a state or condition. Over time, "plentitude" evolved in Middle English via Old French, retaining its core meaning of abundance or completeness.
