plenituden.

Brit. /ˈplɛnᵻtjuːd/, /ˈplɛnᵻtʃuːd/, U.S. /ˈplɛnəˌt(j)ud/
Forms: late Middle English (1500s Scottish) plenytude, late Middle English– plenitude.
Origin: Of multiple origins. Partly a borrowing from French. Partly a borrowing from Latin. Etymons: French plenitude; Latin plēnitūdō.
Etymology: < (i) Anglo-Norman and Middle French plenitude (French plénitude ) fullness (late 13th cent. or earlier in Anglo-Norman), completion of a timespan, spec. by the coming of the Messiah (c1300 in Old French in the phrase plenitude del tans , subsequently from 1670 as plénitude des temps ), completeness (c1349 or earlier), abundance (early 15th cent. or earlier), and its etymon (ii) classical Latin plēnitūdō abundance, fullness, fullness of shape, thickness, full amount, the whole, in post-classical Latin also completeness, perfection (late 2nd cent. in Tertullian), prosperity (Vulgate) < plēni- pleni- comb. form + -tūdō -tude suffix. In sense 2 after post-classical Latin plenitudo (4th cent. in medical contexts); compare Middle French, French plénitude repletion (1561 or earlier; now usually plénitude de l'estomac ), abundance of humours (1680; now obsolete). In senses 3 and 4a apparently after the corresponding senses of the Latin word; these senses appear to have no parallels in French. In sense 4b after scientific Latin plenitudo (1751 in Linnaeus Philosophia Botanica in this sense). Compare Catalan plenitud (1418), Spanish plenitud (1423 or earlier in sense ‘fullness of voice’), Italian plenitudine (a1311). Compare earlier plenteousness n., plenteouste n., plentiness n., plenty n.In plenitude of time (compare quot. ?a1475 at sense 1a) after post-classical Latin plenitudo temporis (Vulgate), itself after Hellenistic Greek (New Testament) πλήρωμα τοῦ χρόνου (Galatians 4:4).
