(-Ful) - English editing.

The combining form -ful is used to form nouns meaning ‘the amount needed to fill’ (cupful, spoonful, etc.). The plural of such words is cupfuls, spoonfuls, etc., with the words joined together. Three cups full would mean the individual cups rather than a quantity measured in cups: on the sill were three cups full of milk, but add three cupfuls of milk to the batter.
