profusion
Overflowing great quantity
Profusion is abundance to the point of excess—more than enough, perhaps more than necessary.
Flowers bloom in profusion, ideas flow in profusion.
The word suggests overflow, a generous or even overwhelming quantity: a profusion of options, a profusion of detail.
Unlike mere plenty, profusion implies something lavish or unrestrained.
