The quantity that a cloud can hold; a poetic or whimsical term for an imagined capacity or amount.
From 'cloud' plus '-ful' (from Old English, meaning 'filled with' or the quantity that fills something), following the pattern of 'cupful,' 'handful,' etc.
This whimsical word shows how English lets you turn almost any noun into a measurement—a 'cloudful' of anything is as imprecise and poetic as measuring dreams in a teaspoon!
