copious
意味: Abundant in supply or quantity; plentiful to the point of excess, especially of written material, notes, or physical quantities.
Copious most often modifies 'notes,' 'amounts,' 'quantities,' or 'evidence.' It implies more than merely enough — the supply is generous, even overflowing. In academic writing, 'copious notes' suggests diligent, thorough recording; in journalism, 'copious evidence' lends weight to an argument. The word sits comfortably in formal prose without sounding stuffy, making it a reliable choice for elevating register slightly.
