   @yvanspijk With that cluster it looks like the swedish adjective "satt" as in "short and stocky" could be related as well.

     The English words 'sad' is etymologically related to German 'satt' (full; done; fed up) and Dutch 'zat' (drunk; fed up; plenty).

     Their original Germanic meanings were "full; sated".

     These words are also related to Latin 'satis' (enough) and its derivations 'to satisfy' and French 'assez' (enough; quite).
