Etymology: "Fulnesses" is the plural of "fulness," a noun formed in Old English from the adjective "full" plus the suffix "-ness," which turns an adjective into a noun for a state or quality. The base "full" comes from Old English "full," related to Germanic words for filling and to Latin "plenus," which is the source of "plenty" and "plenitude." The spelling "fulness" was once standard, and "fullness" with a double l became common later. Both forms have long been accepted, and the single-l version remains the more traditional choice in many dictionaries. Its plural follows the regular pattern for nouns ending in "-ss," adding "-es."
