The amount of liquid that a glass container can hold; one glass's worth of a beverage or liquid.
From 'glass' + 'full' (Old English full meaning filled or complete). Compound meaning the quantity a glass holds.
Before standardized measurements, 'a glassful' was actually a legitimate unit of measurement for recipes—what mattered was using the same glass each time, not exact ounces!
