/ˈfʊliˌmɑːrt/ noun

Definition

An archaic term for a shopping area or market, possibly a place where fuller's goods or fullering equipment was sold.

Etymology

Compound of 'fully' (possibly from 'fuller') and 'mart' (market), though the exact etymology is uncertain and the term is now obsolete in modern English.

Kelly Says

The disappearance of words like 'fullymart' shows how old trade terms vanish when those occupations stop being common—we've lost countless occupation-related words as industries changed.
