| Definition: | | \A*bun"dant\, a. [OE. (h)abundant, aboundant, F.
abondant, fr. L. abudans, p. pr. of abundare. See {Abound}.]
Fully sufficient; plentiful; in copious supply; -- followed
by in, rarely by with. ``Abundant in goodness and truth.''
--Exod. xxxiv. 6.
{Abundant number} (Math.), a number, the sum of whose aliquot
parts exceeds the number itself. Thus, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, the
aliquot parts of 12, make the number 16. This is opposed
to a {deficient} number, as 14, whose aliquot parts are 1,
2, 7, the sum of which is 10; and to a {perfect} number,
which is equal to the sum of its aliquot parts, as 6,
whose aliquot parts are 1, 2., 3.
Syn: Ample; plentiful; copious; plenteous; exuberant;
overflowing; rich; teeming; profuse; bountiful; liberal.
See {Ample}.
