What is full is full.
Full is a term in our language that comes from the Latin replētus . It is an adjective that is used to describe that which is full and that no longer has the capacity to receive or house more things.
For example: “In front of a packed theater, the Australian singer gave a concert that lasted more than two hours,” “The woman served him a plate full of meat and vegetables, which the boy quickly devoured,” “The bus is already packed: I hope people don't continue getting on.”
Concept of packed
Generally, the notion of full is used with reference to containers . A jug will be full when it can no longer receive any more liquid without overflowing, just as a bowl is full when it has exhausted its capacity and can no longer hold anything inside.
Stadiums , theaters and buildings can also fill their capacity and become packed, without there being more physical space for people to continue entering. If that number of people enter a stadium capable of receiving 20,000 spectators to watch a football match, it can be said that the stadium is full.
A packed stadium has its capacity filled.
Negative effects
Precisely the fact that a space of this type can be full of people brings with it problems. At first, there are attendees who may feel panic or anxiety in the face of the crowd of people and secondly, those who have to go on stage may suffer from stage fright . Two situations that, in both cases, can lead those who suffer from them to receive medical assistance.
As a general rule, when we talk about events that have been packed, it is a positive thing, as it indicates that the person who carried it out is a great success among the people. However, on other occasions that same adjective has a marked negative accent. Thus, for example, when it is said that the emergency room of a hospital was full, it is usually something bad, since it indicates that the medical services were saturated, that patients could not be cared for properly or that they could not be accessed. medical assistance quickly but after many hours.
Symbolically packed
The idea of packed can also refer to symbolic issues that, due to their characteristics, do not occupy a physical place.
If someone comments that a young man “is full of good ideas,” it will indicate that the boy in question is very creative and usually develops interesting projects . Of course, in this case it does not mean that the “full” young person does not have more capacity to generate new ideas, but rather that the concept is linked to abundance or multiplicity .
A historical example
There are various acts and events to which the adjective full can also be applied. Thus, for example, following the death of Nancy Reagan (who was first lady of the United States ) in 2016 , it was published at that time in different media that her funeral was "packed" with well-known figures from the political spheres, military and cultural.
In this framework, the chronicles highlighted the presence of figures such as George W. Bush , Hillary Clinton , Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jerry Brown .
