Podcast: Word of the Day
Episode: Plethoric
Description: Plethoric is an adjective that means inflated or overfull.
Coming almost directly from a Greek word that means ‘fullness,’ plethora is a noun that refers to ‘a large or excessive amount of something.’ Our word of the day is the adjective variation, used to describe things that are excessively filled.
Example: At first I was excited by the plethoric supply of Snickers bars we took with us on our hike. But after lugging those overfull backpacks around for two hours, I felt we had way too much.
