    How is the word sate different from other


    verbs like it?
    Some common synonyms of sate are cloy, glut,
    gorge, pall, satiate, and surfeit. While all these
    words mean "to fill to repletion," satiate and sate
    may sometimes imply only complete satisfaction
    but more often suggest repletion that has
    destroyed interest or desire.

    years of globe-trotting had satiated their interest


    in travel

    readers were sated with sensationalistic stories

    When could cloy be used to replace sate?


    While in some cases nearly identical to sate, cloy
    stresses the disgust or boredom resulting from
    such surfeiting.

    sentimental pictures that cloy after a while

    When can glut be used instead of sate?


    The words glut and sate are synonyms, but do
    differ in nuance. Specifically, glut implies excess
    in feeding or supplying.

    a market glutted with diet books

    When would gorge be a good substitute for


    sate?
    While the synonyms gorge and sate are close in
    meaning, gorge suggests glutting to the point of
    bursting or choking.

    gorged themselves with chocolate

    When is it sensible to use pall instead of sate?


    Although the words pall and sate have much in
    common, pall emphasizes the loss of ability to
    stimulate interest or appetite.

    a life of leisure eventually begins to pall

    Where would surfeit be a reasonable


    alternative to sate?
    The words surfeit and sate can be used in similar
    contexts, but surfeit implies a nauseating
    repletion.

    surfeited themselves with junk food
