Etymology: "Satiations" is the plural of "satiation," so it names several instances of satisfying a desire or need fully. The base noun comes from the Latin "satiare," meaning to fill or satisfy, which is rooted in "satis," meaning enough. English "satiate" and its noun "satiation" follow that same path, and the plural simply counts separate acts or episodes of that fullness.

Synonyms: satisfactions, fulfillments, gratifications, contentments, repletions

Antonyms: hunger, starvation, deprivation, need, desire
