Этимология

[ 'ful also 'f&l ] (adjective.) before 12th century. Unknown. First appeared in print in 1980s, but probably existed before that. The most common theory for its origin is that a purchase (especially that of a full three piece suit) from Montague Maurice Burton, (1885-1952) founder of Burton Menswear, was known as a "full Monty". According to the OED, this etymology is “perhaps the most plausible”.
