Is satisfy a synonym of display?

No, "satisfy" and "display" are not synonyms. They have distinct meanings:

* Satisfy: To fulfill a need, desire, or requirement.

* Display: To show or exhibit something, often in a public way.

Here are some examples to illustrate the difference:

* Satisfy: "The meal satisfied my hunger."

* Display: "The museum displayed a collection of ancient artifacts."

While something might be shown to satisfy a need, it's not the same as displaying it.
