tableful

/ˈteɪbəɫfəl/ noun

As much as fills a table.

Word Origin A tableful is as much as a table can hold. 'Table' from Latin 'tabula' (a board or plank), and '-ful' from Proto-Germanic 'fullaz' meaning full. So a tableful of food is a table loaded to capacity. The root 'tabula' also gives us 'tablet' (a small flat surface), 'tabulate' (to arrange in a table), and 'tablespoon' (a large spoon for table serving).
