slake

Put out craving

Slake means to satisfy or quench a thirst or desire: slake your thirst, slake your curiosity.

The word is somewhat literary—you're more likely to encounter it in writing than speech.

Slake also has a technical meaning in chemistry: to slake lime is to combine it with water, producing calcium hydroxide.
