Morphology

flavorful = flavor (transparent) = flavor + ful

The word 'flavorful' is transparently derived from 'flavor' with the suffix '-ful', indicating full of flavor.

Etymology

Flavorful comes from flavor (meaning 'taste') plus the little ending -ful which means 'full of'. So flavorful literally means 'full of taste', and that is why we use it for food with a strong, pleasant taste.
