Ecstasy

I've been thinking about e-words. No that's not right, that looks like "electronic" words, like e-mail and e-surance. I mean words that start with the letter "e," like elation, euphoria and ecstasy.

I heard the word, elation, on my audiobook this morning.

elation--the quality or state of being filled withjoy or pride. Latin.

euphoria--a feeling of well-being or elation. Greek.

ecstasy--a state of being beyond reason and self-control; state of overwhelming emotion, especially rapturous delight. It came from Middle English, from Middle French, from Latin, from Greek ultimately.

Exultation is listed as a synonym for elation and ecstacy.

I am euphoric about these words!
