satis

Satis is a Latin word meaning "enough" or "sufficient." In classical Latin, it functions as an adverb meaning "enough" and can also serve as a noun-like element governing a genitive to express quantity, as in phrases such as satis pecuniae (enough money).

Common expressions include hoc est satis or satis est, both of which translate to "this is enough" or "that is enough." The word is generally indeclinable, so it does not vary by case, number, or gender. When paired with a genitive noun, satis conveys a notion of a sufficient amount of that noun, for example, "satis rei" (enough of the matter).

Etymologically, satis is a straightforward Latin term and appears frequently in classical authors, medieval scholastic works, and later Latin lexica. In English-language usage, satis is encountered almost exclusively within Latin quotations, scholarly discussions of Latin grammar, or in texts that preserve Latin phrases. It is not a productive English word used in ordinary speech.

In modern references, satis remains primarily of linguistic and historical interest. It is commonly glossed in dictionaries as "enough" or "sufficient" and is cited as an example of how Latin expresses quantity without a separate counting term. There are no widely recognized contemporary subjects or organizations named satis, and the term’s value today is mainly as a string of reference for Latin language study.
