Origin:
The word "saturate" has its roots in the Latin language. The Latin adjective "satur" means "full" or "satisfied." It is related to the verb "saturare," which means "to fill" or "to satisfy." The Proto-Indo-European root *(s)et- ("to be full") is also found in other words across multiple languages in the Indo-European family, such as the English word "sated," the Greek word "satys" ("full"), and the Sanskrit word "sutra" ("thread" or "cord").
In English, the word "saturate" was first used in the 15th century in the context of filling something with a liquid. By the 17th century, it had also come to be used in a more figurative sense, referring to filling something with any kind of substance or sensation. Today, the word is used in a variety of contexts, both scientific and non-scientific, to describe the process of filling or permeating something to the maximum extent.
