Root Explanation

This word originates from Old English, where 'top' means the highest point or summit, and 'full' means filled or having a lot of something. Therefore, 'topfull' refers to being filled to the highest point or brim.

Memory Tip

Think of something that is filled to the very 'top' — that's what 'topfull' means, being full to the highest point.
