the Online Etymological Dictionary has to say about "chock-full":</span><span style="font-family: Arial;"></span></p>
<p style="margin-left: 40px;"><b><span style="font-family: Arial;">chock-full</span></b><span style="font-family: Arial;"> </span></p>
<p style="margin-left: 40px;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">c.1400, chokkeful, possibly from choke
"cheek." Or it may be from O.Fr. choquier "collide,
thrust." Chock-a-block is nautical, said of two blocks of tackle run so
closely they touch.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(31, 73, 125);">Notice the
reference to "chock-a-block", which means something like "packed in close
together" in modern English.</span><span style="font-family: Arial;"></span></p>

and in turn passing it along to English sailors.</span><span style="font-family: Arial;"></span></p>
