The story

Food (飠) wrapped (包) up inside you: so full there is no room for one more bite. Full turns into fed up: 飽きる is to tire of something, 飽きっぽい is never sticking with a hobby, and 飽和 is saturation, a solution that can hold no more.

Used in 飽きる (akiru, to get tired of), 飽きっぽい (akippoi, easily bored), and 飽和 (houwa, saturation)
