slakeable

Able to quench

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

The word applies most naturally to thirst, but extends to desires, curiosities, and other cravings that admit of fulfillment.

After hours in the desert sun, his thirst finally felt slakeable once he spotted the oasis.

The opposite, unslakeable, tends to be more common, emphasizing desires that cannot be satisfied.
