Definition
Feeling satisfied or happy with what you have, accepting a situation without wanting more or something different.
Usage & Nuances
Always used with 'with' plus what someone accepts (e.g., 'content with my job'). More formal or positive than just 'okay with.' Do not confuse with 'content' as noun ('table of contents'). Often expresses acceptance rather than excitement.
