Etymology
The word 'brimful' originates from Middle English, where 'brim' means the edge or rim of a container, and 'ful' is a suffix meaning full or filled. This compound word conveys the idea of something being filled to the very edge of its capacity. Historically, it has been used to describe not only physical containers but also contexts of abundance, such as emotions or experiences. Over time, 'brimful' has appeared in various literary works to emphasize excess or overflowing joy, excitement, or material goods, suggesting that the state of being 'brimful' is often associated with positive, overflowing qualities.
