assouvir
Part of speech: verb
Morphology: simple
Etymology: Du latin sopire (« endormir ») via un bas-latin *assopire (« faire s'endormir », « calmer ») qui donne aussi, proprement, assoupir, le mot est, en ancien français, devenu homonyme de assovir, assevir, assuir (« terminer, achever, accomplir ») qui dérive du latin assequor (« suivre jusqu'à, achever ») et explique le sens de « mener à bien, mener à terme [une vengeance, une passion] ».
