plenty

1、plenty 的拉丁户口 plenus"满"：同族一大串——complete（完整无缺）、deplete（掏空，前缀 de- 往下挖走）、implement（落实填补）、replete（充满）、supply（补给）、plus（加号）、plural（复数）、surplus（剩余顺差）、plethora（过剩过多）、plenary（全体出席的）。
2、再往上 *plē-"填满"与 full（满的）同祖：plenty 和 full 其实是隔了千百年的亲表亲，一个拉丁门一个日耳曼门。
3、读 /ˈplen.ti/ 两拍；拼写是 plen+ty，中间没有 e——lepti、plent 之类笔误别出。There's plenty 多得是；plenty of time 有的是时间。-ty 是老抽象名词尾巴（如 safety 那类构词感）。

plenty 大量，众多

plen-,全体的，全部的，-ty,名词后缀。引申词义大量，众多。

plenty

plenty: [13] Plenty is one of a family of English words that trace their history back to Latin plēnus ‘full’ (a descendant of the same Indo- European base, *plē-, as produced English full and plethora). Others include plenary [16], plenipotentiary [17], plenitude [15], plenteous [13], and replenish. Plenty itself comes via Old French plentet from the Latin derivative plenitās. Other close relatives contributed by Latin include plural, plus, and surplus and the range of words based on the verbal element -plēre ‘fill’ – complete, deplete, implement, replete, supply, etc.
=> complete, deplete, full, implement, plethora, replete, supply

plenty (n.)

mid-13c., "as much as one could desire," from Old French plentee, earlier plentet "abundance, profusion" (12c., Modern French dialectal plenté), from Latin plenitatem (nominative plenitas) "fullness," from plenus "complete, full" (see plenary). Meaning "condition of general abundance" is from late 14c. The colloquial adverb meaning "very much" is first attested 1842. Middle English had parallel formation plenteth, from the older Old French form of the word.
