Why “exundation” is a great word

EXUNDATION — [Noun] A copious overflow or abundant outpouring. From Latin exundātiōn-em, from exundāre ("to overflow"), from ex- ("out") + undāre ("to surge, flow in waves"). Unlike "flood," which denotes a specific, often destructive, deluge, or "surfeit," which implies an excessive, unwelcome glut, exundation is a neutral and literary term for any profuse generosity. It is the spill of light from a cloud's rupture, the sap weeping from a fresh-cut maple, or a ripe fig splitting its own skin—a quiet testament to the fundamental tendency of bounty to exceed its vessel.

noun

An overflow, flooding or overflowing abundance.“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.”
