prolific

Generating abundant output

Prolific means producing abundantly.

A prolific writer publishes many books; a prolific fruit tree yields heavy harvests.

The word applies to creative output, biological reproduction, or any kind of generation: a prolific scorer, a prolific source of rumors.

Someone prolific doesn't just produce a lot—they produce a lot relative to what's typical or expected.
