copiously

/ˈkoʊpjəsɫi/ adv C1

in large amounts

Word Origin From Latin copia 'abundance, plenty,' which itself comes from co- 'together' and ops 'wealth, power' — so copiously means 'in an abundant manner.' The same root ops gives us opulent (wealthy) and cornucopia (horn of plenty). The idea: when something flows copiously, it's like a horn of plenty overflowing. The PIE root *op- meant 'to work, produce in abundance,' which is fitting.
