teemingly

With abundant overflow

Teemingly describes something happening in a teeming manner—abundantly, swarmingly, full of life or activity.

The word is rare; the adjective teeming does most of the work: teeming crowds, teeming with ideas.

When teemingly does appear, it intensifies scenes of overflow: Rain fell teemingly, The streets teemingly alive with vendors.
