Morphology

feelingful = feeling (transparent) = feeling + ful

Formed by the noun 'feeling' + productive suffix '-ful' yielding 'having sensation' or 'able to feel'; although this sense is uncommon, the structure is guessable.

Etymology

Feelingful comes from feel ('to sense by touch or to have feelings') and the ending -ful ('full of'), so it can mean 'full of feeling' in a physical way — able to feel touch, pain, or other bodily sensations.
