Etymology
Profuseness comes from Latin parts pro- meaning 'forth' and fundere meaning 'to pour', so it originally meant 'poured out'. Think of a fountain pouring water everywhere: profuseness is the same image for anything that is very large or overflowing, which is why the word means a great or excessive amount.
