ABOUND', verb intransitive. [Latin abundo. If this word is from Latin unda, a wave, the latter has probably lost its first consonant. abound may naturally be deduced from the Celtic. Latin fons, a fountain.] 1. To have or possess in great quantity; to be copiously supplied; followed by with or in; as to abound with provisions; to abound in good things. 2. To be in great plenty; to be very prevalent. Where sin abounded, grace did much more abound Romans 5:20.
