Etymology
The word 'tubful' is a compound word formed by combining 'tub', which has Old English origins, and the suffix '-ful', which denotes 'full of' or 'characterized by'. The term 'tub' itself derives from the Old Norse word 'tuba', meaning a vessel or a cask, which emphasizes its use as a container for holding liquid. The suffix 'ful' has been used in English since the 14th century to indicate the extent or the capacity of something. Therefore, 'tubful' as a term emerged to describe the specific measurement or volume pertaining to what a tub can hold, reinforcing its usage in everyday language, particularly in contexts involving cooking, cleaning, and bathing.
