Satiatedly

Part of speech: adverb

Definitions

1. Satisfied to the point where no more is desired or needed
2. expressing contentment after having fulfilled a hunger or craving
3. experiencing a state of being fully gratified or pleased without further need for indulgence

Etymology: The root is Latin "satis", meaning "enough". From it came the verb "satiare", "to fill until there is enough", and its past participle "satiatus". English borrowed the participle as "satiate", and the same root also gave "satiety", the state of having had enough. Adding "-ed" yields the adjective "satiated", and "-ly" turns it into an adverb describing how something is done or felt. Because each part is a familiar, transparent formation, the adverb has no separate history of its own. It is a rare coinage of English grammar rather than a word with a story of its own, so its meaning follows directly from the Latin "enough" at its core.
