Also means
to fulfil
Usage Note
Appagare suggests a deep, complete satisfaction — more emotionally resonant than the everyday soddisfare. Appagare la curiosità (to satisfy curiosity), sentirsi appagato (to feel fulfilled). The reflexive appagarsi means to be content with something. Takes avere in transitive use, essere in reflexive.
Examples
"Quel lavoro mi ha appagato completamente."
Natural Translation
That job satisfied me completely.
Literal Translation
That work to-me has satisfied completely.
