unsated
Wanting even more
Unsated means not satisfied or fulfilled—still hungry for more.
The word typically describes appetites, desires, or ambitions that remain unquenched: Her unsated curiosity drove her to keep researching.
It carries a slightly literary or formal tone compared to unsatisfied.
