slakable

Able to quench

Slakable describes something that can be satisfied, quenched, or relieved.

A slakable thirst can be satisfied with water; a slakable curiosity can be appeased with answers.

The word implies that desire or need has a limit that can be reached: His ambition proved slakable after all.

The opposite, unslakable, is more common.
