Morphology

rackful = rack (transparent) = rack + ful

The meaning is directly derived from 'rack' + the productive suffix '-ful' meaning 'full of' or 'having', so learners who know 'rack' and '-ful' can infer the adjective.

Etymology

Rackful comes from the common word rack, a frame for holding things, plus -ful, which means 'full of'. So when we say something is rackful we mean it is 'as much as will fill a rack'.
