Etymology

The term 'sackful' is derived from the word 'sack', which originates from the Old French 'sac', meaning a bag or pouch. The word 'sac' itself can be traced back to Latin 'sacculus' meaning a small bag or pouch, which is a diminutive of 'saccus', from Greek 'sakkos' meaning a cloth bag or sack. The addition of the 'ful' suffix comes from Old English, denoting the full amount contained in a bag. Together, these components bring the term 'sackful' into usage as a descriptor for the volume of items that one can carry or store inside a sack. The evolution of the word highlights the practical aspects of everyday life where the storage and transport of goods have been essential throughout history.
