About This Root
From Latin unda (wave). The wave imagery flows through: undulate (to move in waves), inundate (to flood — send waves upon), abound/abundance (to overflow in waves), redundant (overflowing back — hence excessive), and surround (to overflow around). The root elegantly links water waves to any sense of overflowing quantity.
