Having a great scope. Stretching far. ''When you look at a mountain range you realize that it is truly amplivagant.''

Quite the word. If we were to retain all of your suggestions here, we would certainly have amplivagant vocabularies.
Life is like playing chess with chessmen who each have thoughts and feelings and motives of their own.

I can only find one occurrence of this word in Blount's Glossographia 1656. It has only a one-line entry; not even an example.
