Gazeful

/ˈɡeɪzfəl/ adjective

Definition

Full of gazes or characterized by gazing; looking intently or paying close attention with one's eyes.

Etymology

From 'gaze' plus the common English suffix '-ful' (meaning 'full of'), similar to words like 'careful,' 'fearful,' and 'thoughtful' that describe things full of a particular quality.

Kelly Says

The '-ful' suffix is one of English's most productive word-building tools—you can add it to almost any noun to create an adjective, which is why poetic writers invented words like 'gazeful' even if they never became standard.
