How it's used
Focuses on the depth and stability of resources, power, or even physical sound quality. It implies a foundation that is not easily shaken or exhausted. While often used for financial capital, it is equally common when describing a deep, resonant voice.
Examples
Their company has abundant capital and is not afraid of losing money.

Common mistake
