The amount something can contain (8)

I believe the answer is:

capacity

(Other definitions for capacity that I've seen before include "how much can one take?" , "Space; ability" , "Amount that can be held - skill" , "Maximum amount that can be contained" , "Capability to perform or produce" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
