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

'satisfied' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)

'in substance quite' is the wordplay.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for content that I've seen before include "Elements" , "Satisfied; volume" , "Satisfied, happy enough" , "state of peaceful happiness" , "Gist" .)
