The amount that a case can hold; a case filled to capacity.
Compound of 'case' and the suffix '-ful' (meaning the quantity that fills a container). Follows the standard English pattern seen in words like 'cupful,' 'handful,' and 'boxful.'
English has a whole system of '-ful' words that shows how practical our ancestors were—they created units of measurement based on everyday containers, so a 'spoonful' or 'caseful' is inherently understood as a specific quantity defined by the container's capacity.
