Etymology

Latin exundatio.

Noun

exundation (countable and uncountable, plural exundations)

1. An overflow, or overflowing abundance.
   • 1691, John Ray, The wisdom of God Manifested in the Works of the Creation:

     It is more worthy of the Deity to attribute the creation of the world to the exundation and overflowing of his transcendent and infinite goodness, which is, of its own nature, and in the very notion of it, most free, diffusive, and communicative.
