the.com/sufficiency
the radical art of declaring enough and meaning it while the world screams more
means the state of having or being enough — adequate in amount or quality to meet a need, without excess.
from From Latin sufficere, 'to supply, to be enough,' built from sub- ('up to, under') and facere ('to make, to do') — literally to make up to the mark. It entered English through Old French in the late Middle Ages, carrying that same quiet arithmetic: not abundance, not lack, but the precise point where the need is met and the making can stop.
