Word origin

The word 'copiously' originates from the Latin word 'copiosus', meaning abundant or plentiful. It entered the English language in the late 16th century. Over time, 'copiously' has been used to describe both written and spoken communication that is rich in content or excessive in quantity. Its versatility in conveying the idea of abundance has made it a popular adverb in English literature and everyday language usage.
