Morphology

stomachful = stomach (transparent) = stomach + ful

Formed by straightforward suffixation of 'stomach' with '-ful', meaning an amount that fills the stomach, analogous to 'cupful' or 'handful'.

Etymology

The word stomachful is made of stomach, the body part that holds food, and -ful, which means 'full of'. So a stomachful is an amount of food or drink that 'fills the stomach', like a 'handful' but for your belly.
