Same family: fuller, fullest, fully, fill, filling. If you can spell one, the shared part carries to the others.
Where it comes from: Full comes from Old English “full,” meaning ‘filled, replete,’ and is related to Old High German “fol.” Historically, a ‘fuller’ was a person who cleaned and thickened cloth, which is why the verb ‘to full’ in older or technical use meant to process fabric.
