Fill to the gills (4)

I believe the answer is:

sate

'fill to the gills' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for sate that I've seen before include "Fill to repletion" , "Satisfy - surfeit" , "replete" , "Fill completely" , "Supply to full capacity" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times and the Newsday.
