satiable
Able to satisfy
Satiable means capable of being satisfied or fulfilled.
The word appears almost exclusively in its negative form, insatiable, describing appetites or desires that cannot be satisfied.
When satiable does appear, it's usually to contrast with that more common opposite: Unlike his insatiable brother, Tom's ambitions were satiable.
