Usage Notes

充足 describes an amount that is fully satisfactory and meets or exceeds requirements. It is generally a positive descriptor. It differs from 足够 (enough; sufficient), which is more neutral and conversational. 充足 tends to be used in formal contexts and carries a slightly stronger connotation of being amply sufficient rather than just barely enough.

充足 is commonly used to describe resources, evidence, preparation, sleep, sunlight, and funding. It is not typically used to describe people (you wouldn't say a person is 充足), but rather the quantities or resources associated with activities and situations.

Memory Hook

充 (full/to fill) + 足 (sufficient/foot) — 充足 is to be "fully filled up to the foot/base," i.e., completely sufficient, with nothing lacking.
