Dict: easton - Fuller

easton:

Fuller @ The word "full" is from the Anglo
- Saxon fullian, meaning "to whiten." To full is to press or scour cloth in a mill. This art is one of great antiquity. Mention is made of "fuller's soap" kjv@Malachi:3:2), and of "the fuller's field" ( kjv@2Kings:18:17). At his transfiguration our Lord's rainment is said to have been white "so as no fuller on earth could white them" kjv@Mark:9:3). En-rogel (q.v.), meaning literally "foot-fountain," has been interpreted as the "fuller's fountain," because there the fullers trod the cloth with their feet.
