Affluent
Understanding the Origin of the word:
In Middle English, affluent meant "abundant, flowing," from Old French, from Latin affluēns, from affluere "to abound in," from the prefix ad- "to, at" plus fluere "to flow." The meaning of "abundant, flowing" is still seen in phrases such as "affluent prose." But mostly, when you use the word affluent, the thing understood to be flowing is cash.
Meaning:
adjective, having a lot of money or owing a lot of things.
What we are seeing increasingly is a society of private affluence and public squalor.
adjective, Generously supplied with money, property or possessions, Plentiful; abundant; Flowing Free; Copious.
The centre of the city had sadly become a pit of penury, while, only five miles away, multi-million dollar homes spoke of affluence.
