In terms of chemistry, when a reactant in a chemical equation is "abundant" that means that there is more than enough of this reactant for the reaction to proceed, given the amounts of the other reactants. In other words, an "abundant" reactant is not the limiting reactant when performing stoichiometry.

In a chemical reaction, a reactant is considered to be in abundance if the quantity of that substance is high and virtually unchanged by the reaction. Abundance differs from excess in that a reactant in excess is simply any reactant other than the limiting reagent; the amount by which a reactant is in excess is often specified, such as with terms like "twofold excess", indicating that there is twice the amount of reactant necessary for the limiting reagent to be completely reacted. In this case, should the reaction go to completion, the quantity of the reactant in excess will have halved

When you have so much money that you don't bend down to pick up a coin you see on the floor.
