Morphology

flaskful = flask (transparent) = flask + ful

Formed from the noun 'flask' plus the productive suffix '-ful' meaning 'a quantity that fills X', a composition that is directly interpretable by learners (cf. 'spoonful').

Etymology

Flaskful is the simple combination of flask, meaning 'a small bottle', and -ful, which means 'full' like in cupful. So a flaskful is the amount of liquid that fills a flask.
