Etymology
The word 'ecstatically' is derived from 'ecstatic,' which comes from the Greek 'ekstasis,' meaning 'standing outside oneself.' The term originally referred to a state of being in which an individual experiences intense joy or rapture, often as if they were outside of their own physical body. It has evolved through the Latin 'ecstaticus' and Middle French 'ecstatique' before entering the English lexicon in the 17th century. Over time, the usage of 'ecstatic' and its adverbial form has expanded, allowing for a broader application in describing intense emotional states, particularly in literature, art, and modern expressions of joy.
