Etymology

The word 'ecstasy' originated from the Greek word 'ekstasis', meaning 'standing outside oneself'. It was originally used in a religious context to describe a trance-like state of spiritual exaltation. Over time, the meaning evolved to include intense joy or pleasure. In the modern context, 'ecstasy' is commonly associated with both the emotional state and the drug.
