profusion
UK: /prəˈfjuːʒ(ə)n/ | US: /prəˈfjuːʒən/
n. an abundance or large quantity of something
n. extravagant or wasteful abundance
The word "profusion" originates from Latin profusio, derived from profundere ("to pour forth"), combining pro- (forward) and fundere (to pour). The root fus- reflects the idea of pouring or spreading widely, metaphorically evolving to signify abundance or excess. The suffix -ion nominalizes the action, giving the modern sense of "overflowing quantity."
