Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Derived from the Latin 'cornu' (horn) and 'copia' (plenty), originating in classical mythology as the horn of the goat Amalthea, which provided endlessly overflowing food and drink. The term entered English in the early 16th century, initially referring to the physical horn-shaped container overflowing with fruits and flowers, before expanding metaphorically to mean any great abundance.
