Root Explanation

Satisfyingly → It is formed from "satisfy" (from Latin "satisfacere", meaning to make enough or to meet the needs) and the suffix "-ingly" (meaning in a manner that). The word "satisfyingly" means in a manner that makes one feel satisfied or fulfilled.

Memory Tip

Think of making something 'enough' ('satisfy') and doing it 'in a manner' ('-ingly') — that's why satisfyingly means doing something in a way that brings satisfaction.
