The full capacity or cargo of a canoe; the maximum amount of people, supplies, or goods that a canoe can hold and transport.
Compound word formed from 'canoe' and 'load.' The '-load' suffix creates measurements of capacity, as seen in busload, truckload, and boatload, following Germanic compounding patterns.
English loves creating capacity words by combining transportation + load—busload, carload, truckload, canoeload—it's a quick way to express 'as much as [vehicle] can carry' without a long explanation.
