sates

Fills to repletion

Sates means to satisfy fully, often to the point of excess.

The word usually appears with desires, appetites, or curiosities: Nothing sates his hunger for power.

To be sated is to have had enough—or more than enough.

The word carries a sense of indulgence that distinguishes it from simple satisfaction.
