Etymology of TUBFULS

The word "tubfuls" is derived from the combination of the noun "tub" and the plural form of the noun "ful" (meaning "an amount necessary for or sufficient to fill").

The term "tub" can be traced back to the Middle English word "tubbe", which originally referred to a large wooden container or receptacle. It is believed to have originated from the French word "tube", meaning a tube or pipe. Over time, "tub" came to encompass various types of containers, including wooden and metal containers used for washing, bathing, or storing liquids.

The suffix "ful" is a native English word-forming element that was inherited from Old English. It denotes the concept of a container or quantity sufficient to fill or hold something - in this case, the tub.
