Root Explanation

Superabound → It is formed from "super-" (meaning above or beyond) and "abundare" (meaning to overflow or be plentiful). The word describes a state of being more than abundant or overflowing with something.

Memory Tip

Think of being 'above' ('super-') what is 'plentiful' ('abundare') — that's why superabound means to overflow with abundance.
