the.com/bushel basket

means A large round basket sized to hold roughly a bushel — about four pecks, or 8 gallons — traditionally used for harvesting and hauling produce like apples, corn, or peaches.

from The basket takes its name from the bushel, an old dry-measure unit rooted in the Old French 'boissel,' itself likely tracing back to a Gallo-Roman word for a small box or vessel. The unit was standardized centuries ago in England to keep grain merchants honest, and farmers simply built baskets to match the measure — so the container and the quantity became the same word in common speech, even though technically a woven basket can only approximate the precise legal bushel.
