A symbol of an abundant feast, the cornucopia is literally a horn of plenty, as it translates from the Latin cornu copiae. The first word of that Latin phrase serves as the root of such English words as cornada (“a wound inflicted by a bull's horn in formal bullfighting”), cornific (“producing horns”), and cornute (“to make a cuckold of”); the second part relates to our adjective copious (“yielding something abundantly”).
A better Cornucopia, then ever Nature (had shee beene true to their desires and wants) could have produced: the bread of Heaven, by which a man lives for ever.
— The devills banket, Thomas Adams, 1614
