  Abundant \A*bun"dant\, a. [OE. (h)abundant, aboundant, F.
     abondant, fr. L. abudans, p. pr. of abundare. See {Abound}.]
     Fully sufficient; plentiful; in copious supply; -- followed
     by in, rarely by with. "Abundant in goodness and truth."
     --Exod. xxxiv. 6.
     [1913 Webster]


  
     {Abundant number} (Math.), a number, the sum of whose aliquot
        parts exceeds the number itself. Thus, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, the
        aliquot parts of 12, make the number 16. This is opposed
        to a {deficient} number, as 14, whose aliquot parts are 1,
        2, 7, the sum of which is 10; and to a {perfect} number,
        which is equal to the sum of its aliquot parts, as 6,
        whose aliquot parts are 1, 2., 3.
        [1913 Webster]
  
     Syn: Ample; plentiful; copious; plenteous; exuberant;
          overflowing; rich; teeming; profuse; bountiful; liberal.
          See {Ample}.
