overflowings
Pourous beyond capacity
Overflowings is the plural of overflowing, naming multiple instances of liquid or other matter spilling beyond its container.
The word appears most often in figurative or poetic contexts: overflowings of joy, overflowings of the heart.
It suggests abundance that cannot be contained—emotion, gratitude, or spirit that exceeds normal bounds.
