“satiate” in Latin

The English word satiate itself goes back to Latin satis, through satiātus.

Riddle & Arnold A Copious and Critical English–Latin Lexicon, 1864

satiate
satiare (to cause anybody to have enough of anything, PROP. and figuratively); with anything, aliqua re: saturare (to fill so that the person is incapable of taking any more, PROP. and figuratively); with anything, aliqua re: exsatiare (to satisfy fully; vino ciboque, Liv.): exsaturare (Cic., stronger than saturare).
