Completely fill it at sea when stormy (7)

I believe the answer is:

satiate

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'completely fill' is the definition.
'satiate' can be an answer for 'fill' ('satiate' can be a synonym of 'fill'). I'm unsure of the 'completely' bit.

'it at sea when stormy' is the wordplay.
'when stormy' indicates anagramming the letters (I've seen this in other clues).
'it'+'at'+'sea'='itatsea'
'itatsea' anagrammed gives 'SATIATE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for satiate that I've seen before include "Have more than enough" , "Satisfy fully, cloy with excess" , "Completely satisfy" , "stuff" , "Overfill - gorge" .)
