Is there an historical connection between CONtent, and conTENT?

if not, why not??

If so, which came first and how did it segue?

thanks for any help.

They are both from contain, with satisfied coming first. By about a century. As to how this came to be, I can only suggest the idea that the thing that leads to contentment is what makes up the fact of contentment, thus the content is satisfying.

I hope you are content with the content of this post.

I do so enjoy your responses.

Thanks for a badly needed giggle.
