prettygoodwordplethoric (ple-THOR-ik, PLETH-uh-rik) - adj., excessive, overabundant, overfull; loosely, abundant, varied.
Also, obsoletely, suffering from plethora, which before it meant an overabundance in general meant an overabundance of red blood, resulting in a ruddy complexion, or more generally of any of the bodily humors. So much for medieval medicine. But in general, characterized by being a plethora, which is many with a connotation of too many. Via Medieval Latin from Greek plēthōrē fullness, from plēthein, to grow full.
