Root Explanation

Saturant → It is formed from "saturare" (meaning to fill or soak) and the suffix "-ant" (indicating an agent or something that performs an action). The word "saturant" refers to a substance that fills or saturates another substance.

Memory Tip

Think of a substance that 'fills' ('saturare') something else — that's why a saturant is something that saturates.
