fecund

Bearing abundant offspring

Fecund means highly fertile or fruitful.

The word applies literally to biological reproduction—a fecund species produces many offspring—but more often appears figuratively: a fecund imagination, a fecund period of artistic output.

The novelist's fecund mind generated three books a year.

The tone is literary; *fertile* and *prolific* are more common in everyday speech.
