The root of the word contentment comes from the Latin contentus, which means "held together" or "intact, whole." Originally, contentus was used to describe containers, like cups, buckets, or barrels. Later, the word evolved into something that could reflect onto a person, which describes one who feels complete, with no desires beyond themselves.
