``In thy presence is fullness of joy.''
--Ps. xvi. 11.
Douglas Harper's Etymology Dictionary
mid-14c., "state of being sated or satisfied; wholeness, totality, completion" (translating Latin saturitas, plenitudo), from full (adj.) + -ness. There might have been an Old English *fulnes but it has not survived in texts. Earlier was fullhead (c.1300), and Middle English also had fulth "fullness, abundance" (early 14c.). Fullness of time (c.1400) is Biblical, from Paul's letters.
