copiousness
State of overflowing
Copiousness is abundance or plentifulness—having a great deal of something.
The word describes quantity that verges on overflow: the copiousness of her notes, the copiousness of detail in the painting.
It often carries a sense of richness or lavishness rather than mere excess.
