the.com/satiety

The feeling of fullness your brain believes twenty minutes after your stomach does.

means The state of being completely and pleasurably full, with all appetite satisfied.

from From Latin satietas, 'sufficiency' or 'fullness,' rooted in the verb satiare, 'to fill, to satisfy,' which traces back to satis, meaning simply 'enough.' That same satis root gives English a whole family of 'enough'-words — satisfy, satiate, even saturate — all circling the same ancient idea: a point past which more is not better.
