Overflowing jars fill up ten (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

plentiful

'overflowing' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'jars fill up ten' is the wordplay.
'jars' indicates anagramming the letters (the letters must be shocked or jarred).
'fill'+'up'+'ten'='fillupten'
'fillupten' anagrammed gives 'PLENTIFUL'.

(Other definitions for plentiful that I've seen before include "Abundant - profuse" , "Productive" , "Abundant, copious" , "Existing in great quantities" , "common" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
