abounding の語源・成り立ち Etymology
abound の現在分詞・形容詞形で、語源は古フランス語 abunder、さらにラテン語 abundare「波のようにあふれる」です。ab-「外へ」＋ unda「波」で、関連語 abundant, inundate を見ると、「豊かさがあふれている」感じがつかめます。
Abounding is the present participle and adjectival form of abound. Abound entered English through Old French abunder from Latin abundare, meaning to overflow or be plentiful. The Latin verb is traditionally analyzed through ab-, suggesting movement away or outward, and unda, meaning wave. That image of water rising and flowing beyond its limits developed naturally into the figurative idea of plentiful things filling a place. Related English formations include abundant and inundate.
