teacupful

/ˈtiˌkəpfəl/ noun

A unit of measure, the capacity or volume of a teacup.

Word Origin A compound of 'tea' (from Chinese 'te', via Dutch 'thee'), 'cup' (from Latin 'cupa' 'vessel'), and '-ful' 'full of'. So a teacupful is the amount that fills a teacup. The same '-ful' appears in 'handful', 'spoonful', 'mouthful'. 'Tea' also gives us 'teapot', 'teaspoon', 'teatime'. 'Cup' gives us 'cupful', 'buttercup'. So it's a very transparent compound.
