満腹した
解説 Definition
食欲や欲望が十分に満たされた状態。食べ物を十分に食べて満腹であること。
Satiated means completely satisfied because you have had enough of something, especially food or drink. It can also be used more generally for desires or wants that have been fully met. The word is more formal than everyday words like "full" or "satisfied."
覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
satisfy を知っているなら、その「十分満たす」感覚を食欲・欲望に強く寄せた形が satiated。日常会話の full よりやや硬く、「もう十分で、それ以上いらない」まで含みやすい。be satiated with food / feel satiated after a big meal のように、食後の満ち足りた状態で覚えると定着しやすい。insatiable(満たされない)と対にすると混同しにくい。
Link it to `satisfy`: both words share the idea of being fully filled or satisfied. `Satiated` is stronger than everyday `full`, with the feeling of having had enough already. It also helps to pair it with `insatiable`, its clear opposite.

satiated の語源・成り立ち Etymology
ラテン語satiare「十分に満たす」→過去分詞satiatusを経た語で、核はsatis「十分」。-edは「満たされた」状態を示し、insatiableやsatisfyと同根なので、「十分すぎるほど満ちた」が「満腹した」に直結します。
Satiated comes from Latin satiare "to fill fully," especially through the past participle satiatus. Its core is satis, meaning "enough" or "sufficient." The word developed the sense of being completely filled, which is why it suggests being full to the point of having no more desire; satisfy and insatiable are related.
