bounteous
Giving without limit
Bounteous means generously abundant or freely giving.
A bounteous harvest yields more than enough; a bounteous host provides lavishly for guests.
The word is literary and somewhat old-fashioned, more likely to appear in poetry or formal prose than everyday speech: The land was bounteous, offering fruit and grain in abundance.
Bountiful carries the same meaning and sees more use.
