Morphology

caskful = cask (transparent) = cask + ful

The noun is a standard formation meaning 'as much as fills a cask', directly derived from 'cask' + '-ful'.

Etymology

Caskful combines cask, a wooden barrel for holding liquid, and the ending -ful meaning 'full of', like in handful. So a caskful is the amount that fills a cask.
