Aimful

/ˈeɪmfəl/ adjective

Definition

Full of aim or purpose; directed with clear intention; purposeful and deliberate.

Etymology

From 'aim' combined with the suffix '-ful' meaning 'full of.' This adjective formation follows the standard English pattern for creating descriptive words about qualities or characteristics.

Kelly Says

We use 'purposeful' all the time but rarely hear 'aimful'—yet they mean nearly the same thing! It's a forgotten adjective that shows how one word can get replaced by a better-known synonym and almost disappear from English.
