Origin

Late Middle English: via Old French from Latin contentus 'satisfied', past participle of continere (see contain).

There are two words spelt content in English; one with the stress on the second syllable meaning ‘happy’ which comes from Latin contentus ‘satisfied’, the other with the stress on the first syllable meaning ‘things included’ from Latin contenta ‘things contained’. Both Latin words go back to continere ‘hold, contain’ which also gives us contain (Middle English).
