4.(figuratively) A state of fullness, a great quantity (of something).
5.1974, Guy Davenport Tatlin!:
He lay on the long stone slant down to the slapping waves, his denim shorts, sneakers, and socks under his head for a pillow, feeling the splendour of distance in all directions, the liquid silence, the plenum of aloneness.
