Satiate \Sa"ti*ate\, v. t. [imp. & p. p. {Satiated}; p. pr. &       vb. n. {Satiating}.]       1. To satisfy the appetite or desire of; to feed to the full;             to furnish enjoyment to, to the extent of desire; to sate;             as, to satiate appetite or sense.                         These [smells] rather woo the sense than satiate it.                                                                               --Bacon.                         I may yet survive the malice of my enemies, although                      they should be satiated with my blood. --Eikon                                                                               Basilike.          2. To full beyond natural desire; to gratify to repletion or             loathing; to surfeit; to glut.          3. To saturate. [Obs.] --Sir I.

These words differ                   principally in degree. To content is to make                   contented, even though every desire or appetite is not                   fully gratified. To satisfy is to appease fully the                   longings of desire. To satiate is to fill so                   completely that it is not possible to receive or enjoy                   more; hence, to overfill; to cause disgust in.                               Content with science in the vale of peace.                                                                               --Pope.                               His whole felicity is endless strife; No peace,                            no satisfaction, crowns his life. --Beaumont.                               He may be satiated, but not satisfied. --Norris.
