plethora
More than enough
Plethora means an excessive amount or overabundance of something: a plethora of options, a plethora of excuses.
The word carries a slightly formal or literary tone and often implies the quantity is unwelcome or overwhelming.
In casual use, it sometimes just means "a lot," though purists insist on the sense of too much.
