Please answer this! It is for extra credit which i really need!

What are the two Latin words and their English meanings that create the name for the item in the picture?
cornu + copiae = cornucopia


Cornu = horn


Copia = plenty, abundance, copiae = of plenty etc.

By the way, I saw your other question asking for the meaning of the Latin word cornucopia, but cornucopia is an English word. The Latin word is cornucopiae
