English Synonyms and Antonyms3.0 / 2 votes

  1. content

    To satisfy is to furnish just enough to meet physical, mental, or spiritual desire. To sate or satiate is to gratify desire so fully as for a time to extinguish it. To cloy or surfeit is to gratify to the point of revulsion or disgust. Glut is a strong but somewhat coarse word applied to the utmost satisfaction of vehement appetites and passions; as, to glut a vengeful spirit with slaughter; we speak of glutting the market with a supply so excessive as to extinguish the demand. Much less than is needed to satisfy may suffice a frugal or abstemious person; less than a sufficiency may content one of a patient and submissive spirit. Compare PAY; REQUITE.

    check, deny, disappoint, refuse, restrain, restrict, starve, stint, straiten, tantalize

    Synonyms:
    cloy, fill, glut, sate, satiate, satisfy, suffice, surfeit
