Etymology

The term 'bucketful' combines the word 'bucket', which originates from the Middle English word 'bucket' or 'bukket', referring to a container used for carrying liquids, and the suffix '-ful', which denotes a quantity or amount. The 'bucket' itself has roots in Old French 'bouquet', which meant a pail, tub, or container, often made from wood or metal. The use of 'ful' serves to convey that the object in question is filled to capacity. The term has been in use since at least the 18th century and has become a common way to express a full measure of something in everyday language.
