profuseness

State of overflowing

Profuseness is the quality of being profuse—abundant, extravagant, or given freely to excess.

It describes lavish quantity or unrestricted outpouring: the profuseness of her apologies, the profuseness of wildflowers covering the hillside.

The word often carries a sense of overflow beyond what's necessary or expected.
