aplenty

More than enough

Aplenty means in abundance or plentifully, always following the noun it modifies: There was food aplenty, opportunities aplenty.

The construction is slightly literary or emphatic—you'd say "plenty of food" in ordinary speech but reach for aplenty when you want a more vivid or old-fashioned ring.
