Root Explanation
Superabounding → It is formed from "super-" (meaning above or beyond) and "abundare" (meaning to overflow or be plentiful). The word describes something that is overflowing with abundance or more than enough.
Memory Tip
Think of something that is 'above' ('super-') and 'overflowing' ('abundare') — that's why superabounding means overflowing with abundance.
