Bonanza

This is not about the western, if that’s what you’re thinking - on the contrary, bonanza was a nautical term. How could it be otherwise when you read it here :)

It derived from the Spanish bonansa (to sail with fair wind and weather). It is thought that American mariners borrowed the word from their Spanish counterparts and used it to describe prosperity in general. In turn, gold rush miners heard the word aboard ships bound for California and used it to describe any rich find of precious metal. The word crept into colloquial American English and has come to mean anything that is considered abundant.
