cornucopia



cornucopia
(n)

(kaw-nyuh-koh-pee-uh)

"a symbol of plenty" or "abundant supply"


A rural news story drew my attention to this lovely word - which I always thought meant a mixture, a jumble, a potpourri.

This headline may just be an editors play on words - but it is a visual one.

"Cornucopia of corn"
A semi truck and trailer was completely buried by corn after knocking the loading chute off the Dillwyn elevator, Thursday.


My turn

We had a cornucopia of dishes to chose from at the party last weekend.
