satisfier
What provides contentment
A satisfier is something that satisfies—a need, requirement, or desire.
The term appears most often in technical contexts: in economics and psychology, satisfiers are factors that produce satisfaction or contentment, as distinct from those that merely prevent dissatisfaction.
Money is a basic satisfier, but recognition matters too.
In linguistics, a satisfier fulfills a grammatical or semantic condition.
