Etymology
Formed from the Greek prefix/preposition επί ('upon, in addition to') and πλέον ('more'), the neuter of the comparative πλείων/πλέων of πολύς ('much, many'). The compound thus literally conveys 'more on top, in addition.' The element πλέον goes back to the Proto-Indo-European root *pleh₁- 'to fill,' the same root behind Latin plūs and plēnus and English 'full.'
