Root Explanation

Trayful → It is formed from "tray" (from Old French *traye*, meaning a shallow container) and "-ful" (meaning full of). The word "trayful" means full of trays or containing a tray's worth of items.

Memory Tip

Think of a 'tray' as a shallow container that holds items, and '-ful' means full of — so a trayful is something that is full of items from a tray.
