More than enough, flaunted like it was the goal all along.
means An excessive amount of something — way more than is actually needed.
from From Greek 'plethore' meaning fullness, from 'plethein' meaning to be full. It entered English through medical Latin, where 'plethora' named an excess of blood or bodily fluids — the old humoral theory's version of 'too much of a good thing.' Only later did it drain out of medicine and swell into the general sense of 'overabundance' we use now.
