Note: Full is placed before adjectives and adverbs to heighten or strengthen their signification. ``Full sad.'' --Milton. ``Master of a full poor cell.'' --Shak. ``Full many a gem of purest ray serene.'' --T. Gray. Full is also prefixed to participles to express utmost extent or degree; as, full-bloomed, full-blown, full-crammed full-grown, full-laden, full-stuffed, etc. Such compounds, for the most part, are self-defining.
