Origin

Middle English (in the sense 'fullness, perfection'): from Old French plente, from Latin plenitas, from plenus 'full'.

‘Fullness’ and ‘perfection’ were the early senses of plenty which goes back to Latin plenus ‘full’. The Greek equivalent plēthōrē is the source of plethora. This was first used as a medical term for an excess of fluid. The sense ‘excess’ dates from the early 18th century.
