Etymology

Derived from Latin profusus (past participle of profundere, "to pour forth"), the word originally described literal overflowing (e.g., liquids). Over time, it evolved metaphorically to denote excessive generosity or abundance in abstract contexts (e.g., "profuse apologies"). The morphemes pro- and -fuse visually and semantically reconstruct the concept of "pouring forward."
