Etymology: Originally < post-classical Latin superabundant-, superabundans overflowing, excessive (4th cent.), use as adjective of present participle of superabundare superabound v. In later use also partly < super- prefix + abundant adj. Compare Middle French, French †superabondant (1533; the usual word is surabondant (c1190 in Old French; use as adjective of present participle of surabonder surabound v.)), Spanish sobreabundante (end of the 15th cent.), Italian sovrabbondante (1686; a1353 as †soprabbondante ). Compare earlier overabundant adj., and also the Older Scots forms at superabounding adj.
