13th century: Old English saed 'sated, weary,' also 'weighty, dense,' of Germanic origin; related to Dutch zat and German satt, from an Indo-European root shared by Latin satis 'enough.' The original meaning was replaced in Middle English by the senses 'steadfast, firm' and 'serious, sober,' and later 'sorrowful.'
