the moment your body says thanks and your eyes say one more bite
means the state of being full or complete, whether of a stomach, a feeling, or a measure that can hold no more
from From Old English 'fulnes,' built from 'full' (itself from a deep Germanic root and an even older Proto-Indo-European one, '*pleh₁-', meaning 'to fill' — a cousin of Latin 'plenus' and 'plus') plus the noun-making suffix '-ness.' So the word literally bottles up the idea of being filled and hands it back as a thing you can possess.
