Pronunciation: [stˈʌməkfə͡l] (IPA) 
The word "Stomachful" is spelled with an "h" in between the "t" and "f". This is because the etymology of the word comes from the combination of the Old English word "stomac" with the suffix "-ful" meaning "full of". Therefore, the "h" serves to indicate that the "t" and "f" are separate sounds and not part of a digraph. The IPA phonetic transcription of "stomachful" is /ˈstʌmək.fʊl/.
"Stomachful" is a noun, formed by combining the word "stomach" with the suffix "-ful" to signify the capacity or quantity that the stomach can hold at a particular time.

The term can also be used metaphorically in a non-literal sense to describe being emotionally or mentally satiated or overwhelmed. In this context, it implies that an individual has reached their limit or threshold for tolerating a specific situation or experience, akin to the sense of feeling figuratively full or overwhelmed.

The usage of "stomachful" allows for a concise and specific description of the amount or state of fullness within one's stomach, while also encompassing the psychological aspects related to emotional or mental saturation. Whether in a literal or metaphorical sense, this term captures the concept of reaching a point of maximum capacity or excess, highlighting the physical or figurative consequences that come with being filled to the brim.
The word "stomachful" is composed of two parts: "stomach" and the suffix "-ful".
1. "Stomach": The term originated from the Old French word "estomac", derived from the Latin "stomachus" or "stomachum". The Latin term was borrowed from the Greek word "stomakhos", which refers to the throat or gullet. Over time, its meaning expanded to include the organ that receives and digests food, namely the stomach.
2. "-ful": The suffix "-ful" in English is used to form adjectives indicating "full of" or "characterized by". It comes from the Old English suffix "-full" or "-ful", meaning "full, abundant, or having an abundance of". This suffix was adopted from the Proto-Germanic "*-fullaz".
