Etymology: "Plentyfulness" is formed from three English parts: "plenty," "-ful," and "-ness." "Plenty" came into English in the 14th century from Old French "plente," which descends from Latin "plenitas," meaning "fullness," from "plenus," "full." The Latin root also gave English "plenary" and "replenish." The "-ful" suffix comes from Old English "full," meaning "full of," and "-ness" is an Old English suffix that turns an adjective into a noun of state or quality. Combining them makes a noun for the condition of being abundant, meaning abundance or copiousness. The word is a regular English formation rather than a term with a notable coinage story, and its first recorded use is not something this entry can date with confidence.
