Magnificent Munificent Extravagance

I encountered this word in a book by Wayne Dyer. He's a very prolific writer.

He said something about the Munificent Universe.

Munificent -- adj. Lavish, liberal or generous. From French.

This word sounds a lot like magnificent.

Magnificent -- adj. 1. great in deed, exalted.
2. marked by stately grandeur and lavishness.
3. sumptuous in structure and adornment.
4. impressive to the mind or spirit.
5. exceptionally fine.

So they are synonyms in one sense of the word (meaning #2).

Swell is also a synonym for Magnificent, but magnificent sounds much more impressive than swell, or even munificent.

Grand would also be a synonym for swell and magnificent. Great also... and extravagant.

I also like sumptuous. I think I have written about it before.

I will end this rumination before I become magniloquent.

Magniloquent -- adj. characterized by a pedantic or bombastic manner. French, mais oui (of course).
