euphoria
Quick Summary
Euphoria is a psychological term referring to an intense state of happiness and well-being. The word originates from the Greek term euphoros, meaning "healthy". Historically, it was used in a medical context to describe a sense of well-being, particularly in sick individuals.12
The term is derived from Greek roots: eu- meaning "well" or "easily," and pherein meaning "to bear". This etymology connects to the feeling of being "borne aloft" or "floating on air" that intense happiness can evoke. Synonyms for euphoria include ecstasy, elation, and rapture. The antonym is depression.21
