覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
原形 abound「豊富にある」に -ing を付けた現在分詞・形容詞形で、語末を変えずそのまま加える。forests abounding with rare plants や a garden abounding in color のように、名詞の後ろから abounding with/in ～「～に満ちた」と説明する、やや文語的な形で覚える。
Link abounding to the base verb abound, meaning “to exist in large quantities” or “to be full of something.” Add -ing directly, with no spelling change. The adjective or participle often follows the noun it describes: forests abounding with rare plants, rivers abounding with fish, or a garden abounding in color and scent. Remember the regular partners abounding in and abounding with. The expression is more literary and vivid than simply saying that something has many items; it presents the place or thing as richly filled, almost overflowing, with the named feature or resource.

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.
