The amount of liquid or substance that a brush can hold or carry at one time.
Compound of 'brush' and '-ful' (Old English suffix meaning 'full of' or 'the quantity that fills'), common since the 1600s.
Artists calculate paint costs by brushful because one brush stroke uses just a small amount, but knowing the exact volume matters when you're mixing expensive pigments or limited-edition colors.
