the.com/satisfaction
the proof that wanting something was always better than having it.
means The contented feeling you get when a desire, need, or expectation has been fully met — or, in older usage, the settling of a debt, grievance, or demand.
from From Latin satisfacere, 'to do enough,' fusing satis ('enough') with facere ('to make, do'). It came into English through Old French as a term of obligation: to give satisfaction once meant to make good on a debt or to answer an insult — which is why a wronged gentleman could literally 'demand satisfaction' and end up in a duel. The cousin satis also lurks in 'sate' and 'satiate,' all circling the same idea of having had quite enough.
