Etymology
borrowed from New Latin, originally a specific epithet of various plants, from feminine of flōribundus, apparently taken to mean "full of flowers, flowering freely," from Latin flōrēre "to bloom" + -bundus "carrying on (the activity denoted by the verb)" — more at florescence
Note: The sense of the New Latin coinage appears to depend on allusion to Latin abundāre "to be rich in, abound with" (see abound).
