Morphology

closetful = closet (transparent) = closet + ful

The noun denotes the quantity that fills a closet and is directly derived from 'closet' + the productive suffix '-ful'.

Etymology

The word closetful comes from closet and the part -ful, which means 'full of'. Think of cupful or handful — a closetful is simply a closet full of things, so it means the amount that fills a closet.
