bucketfuls
Many container loads
Bucketfuls is the plural of bucketful, meaning the amount a bucket can hold.
Like other container measurements, it often appears in contexts emphasizing large quantities rather than precise volumes: We hauled bucketfuls of water from the well.
The alternative plural bucketfuls is more common than bucketsful, though both are acceptable.
