About This Root
From Latin satis (enough) and satur (full, sated). The core idea of 'having enough' branches in two directions: satisfaction and contentment (satisfy, satisfactory, sate) versus excess and insatiability (saturate, insatiable). Dissatisfied adds the prefix for 'apart from' — no longer having enough. Asset originally derived from the related idea of 'sufficient property.'
