Armful

/ˈɑːrmfʊl/ noun

Definition

The amount of something that one person can carry in their arms at one time.

Etymology

Compound word from 'arm' (the limb) plus 'full' (the suffix indicating capacity), a straightforward Old English construction that has been used since at least the 1400s.

Kelly Says

An 'armful' is technically not a standard measurement, but it's so evocative that writers and poets use it constantly—it instantly makes readers imagine the weight, warmth, and intimacy of holding something substantial.
