+

+ ==Forms==

+ '''satiās''' ''f'' (genitive satiātis); third declension^(Wiktionary)

+ Apart from the accusative ⟨satiātem⟩ and the ablative ⟨satiāte⟩ in Lucretius, it is found almost only in the nominative singular.^(OLD 2012)

+ The other cases were usually supplied by [[satietās]].^(Lewis & Short 1879)

+ A collateral form ⟨satiēs⟩ occurs in Juvencus and Pliny the Elder.^(Lewis & Short 1879)

+

+ ==Etymology==

+ It is a noun formed from [[m|la|satis|t=enough]].^(de Vaan 2008)^(Wiktionary)^(Bianchi & Lelli 2014) The OLD suggests that it may be a syncopated form of [[m|la|satietās|t=satiety]],^(OLD 2012) while Georges derives it from an unattested adjective ⟨*satius⟩.^(Georges 1913) De Vaan lists it, with [[m|la|satietās]] and [[m|la|satiō#1|t=to satisfy]], among the derivatives of [[m|la|satis]], which goes back to [[itc-pro|*sati-|t=satiation, satisfaction]] and [[ine-pro|*sh₂-ti-|t=satisfaction, satiation]].^(de Vaan 2008)

+

+ Köbler connects the root with [[ine-pro|*sā-]], the source of words for “sated”.^(Köbler 2010)

+

+ ==Earliest recorded meaning==

+ It is found from Plautus on,^(de Vaan 2008)^(Köbler 2010) meaning “abundance, plenty”: in the ''Pseudolus'' a character promises enough elm rods to give Jupiter a plentiful offering that day.^(OLD 2012)

+

+ ==Semantic evolution==

+ The word has two senses: a plentiful supply of something, and the state of being full or sated.^(OLD 2012)^(Lewis & Short 1879) Accius has a cruelty that no ''satias sanguinis'', “glut of blood”, ever fills, and Sallust a plenty of grain that followed a severe scarcity.^(OLD 2012)^(Conte 2010) Varro uses it of the feeling of fullness after a meal.^(OLD 2012)^(Georges 1913)

+

+ From fullness it passed to the weariness or disgust that excess brings:^(OLD 2012)^(Georges 1913) in Terence's ''Hecyra'' a speaker says that ''satias'' of his pursuits has already taken hold of him, and Livy uses it of a husband's tiring of love for his wife.^(OLD 2012)^(Conte 2010) Lucretius has ''ad satiātem'', “to satiety, in abundance”.^(OLD 2012)^(Gaffiot 2016) Lewis and Short call it mostly ante- and post-classical, and not found in Cicero or Caesar.^(Lewis & Short 1879)
