full
In most daily conversations, "full" is used as an adjective to describe containers or a feeling of satiety after eating. When used as a verb (meaning to thicken cloth), it is a very rare technical term and you will likely only see it in historical texts about textile making. As an adverb meaning "completely," it is considered old-fashioned or formal. In modern English, people almost always use the word "fully" instead.
