[size=+1]satiate
I. sa·tiate \ˈsāsh(ē)ə̇t\ adjective
Etymology: Middle English saciat, from Latin satiatus, past participle of satiare to satiate
: satiated
< that satiate moment after dinner — D.L.Morgan >
II. sa·ti·ate \ˈsāshēˌāt, usu -ˌād.+V\ transitive verb
(-ed/-ing/-s)
Etymology: Latin satiatus, past participle of satiare to satiate, from satis enough — more at sad
1.
a. : to satisfy (as an appetite or desire) fully
  < in reviewing a novel, you should try to … titillate rather than satiate the reader's interest — Raymond Walters b.1912 >
b. : surfeit
2. obsolete : saturate
Synonyms:
sate, surfeit, cloy, pall, glut, gorge: satiate is the most general term, referring chiefly to the fact of repletion, without specifying manner or consequence. Both satiate and sate were formerly used in the sense of merely to satisfy completely; both terms, but especially sate, now usually imply overindulgence to the point where there is no longer any pleasure in what once seemed desirable
  < a vast sameness of sweetness, satiating but never satisfying — Winifred Bambrick >
  < our generation is so overwhelmed by information … that curiosity becomes sated, discrimination dulled — W.R.Parker >
  surfeit implies feeding, supplying, or indulging to excess, with consequent revulsion or disgust
  < other poems have other crimes, and long before the reader has finished with them he is surfeited — J.G.Southworth >
  cloy stresses the aversion resulting from an excess of normally gratifying experience
  < all breathing human passion far above, that leaves a heart high-sorrowful and cloy'd — John Keats >
  pall emphasizes loss of power to attract and a consequent waning of interest
  < the vision palled, and Wells, the lifelong Utopian, despaired of man — Karl Meyer >
  glut suggests a full supply or sometimes oversupply not necessarily resulting in extinction of desire; often (except in the economic sense of a glutted market) it suggests a constantly renewed greed, limited only by physical necessity
  < glutted, but not sated with blood — Jane Porter >
  gorge suggests a greed, whether for material or spiritual goods, that is intensified by gratification and is only abated though not necessarily satisfied when the bursting point is reached
  < the more she heard, the more she wanted to know; there was no gorging her to satiety — Samuel Butler †1902 >
where food is the object, gorge may suggest prolonged and unrestrained stuffing
  < fell upon eggs and bacon and gorged till he could gorge no more — Rudyard Kipling >
