The quality or state of being contained, kept within bounds, or satisfied with what one has; contentment or confinement.
From Middle French contenement, derived from contenir (to contain) plus -ment (a suffix creating nouns from verbs). The word bridges the concepts of physical containment and emotional satisfaction.
This archaic word shows how 'contain' and 'content' (as in satisfaction) share roots—the idea being that if you can 'contain' your desires and keep them bounded, you'll find 'contenement' or peace.
