Root Explanation

Superabundance → It is formed from "super-" (meaning above or beyond) and "abundare" (meaning to overflow or be plentiful). The word "superabundance" refers to an overflowing abundance or an excessive amount of something.

Memory Tip

Think of having an amount that is 'beyond' ('super-') what is 'plentiful' ('abundare') — that's why superabundance means having more than enough.
