Question

cornucopia These books were a cornucopia of wonderful stories and poems, and as a child I spent countless hours with them. ˌkɔrnəˈkoʊpiə

Accepted Answer

(1) A container shaped like a hollow horn full of fruits, vegetables, and ears of grain. (2) An abundance of something desirable. The Latin term cornu copiae meant “horn of plenty,” and cornucopia and horn of plenty have both been used in English since the 16th century. Both terms refer to a hollow goat's horn, or a wicker basket shaped like one, overflowing with produce from the harvest. The cornucopia has been used as a decorative image to represent abundance since at least the 5th century B.C., when it represented a gift given by the infant god Zeus to his beloved nurse: a broken goat's horn that would always magically be filled with whatever she wanted. In the U.S., cornucopias are often seen on altars, in store-window displays, and as table centerpieces, especially at harvesttime or Thanksgiving
