Pro Tip
Avoid Redundancy
Do not use 'abundantly' with words like 'very' or 'extremely'—it already implies a high degree. For example, say 'abundantly clear' instead of 'very abundantly clear'.
Gold Rule
Use with Measurable Quantities
'Abundantly' is best used with countable or measurable nouns (e.g., resources, gifts, blessings) rather than abstract qualities unless the context is clear.
Word Origin
From Middle English 'abundantly' (abundant + -ly), from Old French 'abundamment', from Latin 'abundant-', present participle of 'abundare' (to overflow), from 'ab-' (from) + 'unda' (wave).
Usage Notes
Commonly used in both formal and literary contexts to emphasize the large quantity or extent of something. Not typically used in casual conversation.
