The word for today is…

satiate (adjective, verb):

*adjective*  
: filled to satiety

*verb*  
: to satisfy (a need, a desire, etc.) fully or to excess

Source :[ Merriam -Webster](https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/satiate?ref=goodoil.news)

Etymology : Both satiate and sad are related to the Latin adjective satis, meaning “enough.” When we say our desire, thirst, curiosity, etc. has been satiated, we mean it has been fully satisfied (satisfy being another satis descendant)—in other words, we’ve had enough. Satiate and sate (believed to be an alteration and shortening of satiate) sometimes imply simple contentment, but often suggest that having enough has dulled interest or desire for more, as in “Years of globe-trotting satiated their interest in travel.” Sad, which in its earliest use could describe someone who was weary or tired of something, traces back to the Old English adjective sæd, meaning “sated,” and sæd shares an ancient root with Latin satis.
