An alternative plural form of bottleful, where the plural is applied to the bottle rather than the -ful suffix.
From 'bottle' (plural 'bottles') plus 'ful,' representing a more traditional approach to English pluralization where you pluralize the main noun first, then add the quantity suffix.
Grammarians argue about whether 'bottlefuls' or 'bottlesful' is correct—both are acceptable, but 'bottlesful' follows the logic that you're pluralizing 'bottle' (plural: bottles) plus 'ful,' showing how English lets speakers be logically inconsistent and still be right.
