prolificacy
Tendency toward abundance
Prolificacy is the quality of producing abundantly—whether offspring, creative works, or output generally.
The word appears in discussions of fertility, artistic output, or agricultural yield: The prolificacy of rabbits is legendary, Her prolificacy as a novelist—thirty books in twenty years—astonished critics.
Less common than the near-synonym prolificness.
