Choosing the right word Döderlein's Latin Synonyms
Satis · Affatim · Abunde
1. Satis (from ἄση) denotes, like ἱκανῶς, a sufficient measure, without any accessory reference; whereas affatim and abunde with the accessory notion of rather too much than too little; abunde, like ἅλις, with an objective and absolute reference; whereas affatim, like ἀφθόνως, in a subjective and relative sense. A person may have worked affatim, according to his own opinion, and yet not satis. Cic. Att. ii. 16. Puto enim me Dicæarcho affatim satis fecisse. And, xvi. 1. Satis est et affatim prorsus. Liv. iv. 22. Frumentum non necessitati satis, sed copiæ quoque abunde ex ante confecto sufficiebat. 2. Satiare denotes satisfying, as the appeasing of a want generally, of hunger, of a longing, etc.; whereas saturare, as the appeasing of an unnatural craving, of an over-eager longing, or a voracious hunger, of hatred, of the thirst for blood. (i. 109.)
