Etymology of CUPFULS

The word "cupfuls" is derived from the combination of two separate words: "cup" and "fuls".

The term "cup" originates from the Old English word "cuppe" which has its roots in the Latin word "cuppa" meaning "a small container with a handle and used for drinking". The Latin word itself is believed to be borrowed from Greek "kypellon" which refers to a curved or hollow object.

The suffix "-fuls" is added to the word "cup" to indicate a plural form of "cupful", which means "the amount that a cup can hold". The suffix "-fuls" is derived from Old English "full", meaning "to fill" or "full quantity".

Over time, the two words merged to form "cupfuls", an English word used to denote multiple quantities of what a cup can hold.
