truckload
UK: ˈtrʌkləʊd | US: ˈtrʌkloʊd
n. the amount that a truck can carry
n. (figuratively) a very large quantity of something
The word "truckload" is a compound noun formed in Modern English by combining "truck" (derived from the Greek "trochos," meaning "wheel," via Latin "trochus" and later Old French "troque") and "load" (from Old English "lād," meaning "way, journey, or burden"). The term emerged in the early 20th century with the rise of motorized freight transport, logically describing the capacity or quantity a truck can carry. The figurative sense ("a large amount") followed naturally from its literal meaning.

A truckload of donations arrived at the charity center.
He brought a truckload of snacks for the party.
