Abundant (adj):Overflowing; more than sufficient, plentiful
This word can be split into“ab”, which means “over” and “undare” which means, “flow” (the verb “undare” comes form “unda”, which means “a wave”). So, the word abundant refers to a thing supplied so generously that it overflows.
Context:
The region, abundant in natural resources, was a bone of contention among the neighboring countries.
Undulating (adj): moving with a wave like motion, having a wavy form or surface.
Something that follows a path similar to waves is undulating.
Context:
The plain was not entirely flat, but full of gentle slopes, giving the impression of an undulating sea of grass.
Inundate (v.): overwhelm; flood; submerge.
The word can be split up into “in” which means “into, within” and “unda”, so the meaning that emerges is that of 'being in the waves' or of 'the waves coming in'. In either case we get the idea of a place or person being flooded or submerged by something.
Context:
As soon as he published the book “The Dilbert Principle” Scott Adams was inundated with letters, in which people shared the strange experiences they had at their workplaces.
