Etymology
The term 'brimfull' is a compound word that originates from the combination of 'brim' and 'full'. The word 'brim' itself comes from Old English 'brymm', meaning 'the upper edge of a container', which has roots in Proto-Germanic *brimmaz, referring to a boundary or edge. The addition of 'full' comes from the Old English 'full', meaning 'filled; to the utmost capacity'. Thus, 'brimfull' literally means 'full to the brim'. The usage of the term has been recorded in literature since the 16th century, often used to evoke images of abundance and overflowing, common in poetic and dramatic texts to describe emotions, natureโs bounty, or even overflowing thoughts.
