Some obsolete words simply beg to be revived. Rassasy, which became extinct in the fifteenth century, is one of them. The word means to satisfy a hunger; thus, the next time your host asks you if you would like a second helping, you may exclaim, “No thanks, I’m utterly rassasied!” or “Rassasied is my belly!” or “I’ll be rassasied for the next week!” If everyone who reads this entry starts to use the word, we might just succeed in resurrecting it for the first time in more than five hundred years. In origin, rassasy derives from the prefix re, meaning again, and the Latin verb satiare, meaning to satiate.<\/p>\n
