Fruitful or copious. ''Thankfully, we had a uberous harvest this year.''

Great word. What is the etymology?

Hi Perry. I,m not sure what the etymology is. Possibly Latin.

It appears to be from Latin.

Webster's Dictionary, 1913:
Uberous (Page: 1560)
U"ber*ous (?), a. [L. uber.] Fruitful; copious; abundant; plentiful. [Obs.] Sir T. Herbert.
Perseus Word Study Tool:
uber#2: abounding, rich, full, fruitful, fertile, abundant, plentiful, copious, productive
Uber#1 is not related.
