Plentiful Ignis Crimson

Old French plentif, abundant — adjectival suffix -ful, derived from Latin plēnitās (fullness). As a color modifier, plentiful implies a saturated-and-generous quality where the hue carries rich visual abundance without restraint. Sits at the bold-and-saturated end of the grid, parallel to abundant and bountiful.

Latin ignis, fire. As a color modifier, ignis implies a Latin-fire-and-ignis-fatuus-and-sacred-fire quality, the visual register of Vestal-fire-and-ignis-fatuus hand-Latin-fire-and-ignis-fatuus-and-sacred-fire Vestal-fire-and-ignis-fatuus-and-Roman-Vesta-temple ignis-and-Latin-fire-and-Vestal-flame surfaces under Vestal-fire-and-ignis-fatuus-and-Roman-Vesta-temple Vestal-Virgin-and-Forum-Romanum sacred-flame-light. Sits at the modifier-and-Latin end of the grid, parallel to lux and ventus in usage.

From the Old Spanish cremesin, itself from the Arabic qirmiz — the kermes scale insect, dried and ground into a brilliant carmine dye prized in the medieval Mediterranean. For centuries the most expensive red on a draper's shelf, reserved for cardinals, kings, and the cloth that gave English the word crimson. Cooler than scarlet, deeper than rose; the color of pomegranate seeds and a serious occasion.
