ecstasy
Peak of elation
Ecstasy is intense joy or rapture—a state of being overwhelmed by emotion, often to the point of losing ordinary self-awareness.
Religious mystics describe ecstatic visions; lovers speak of ecstasy in intimate moments.
The word implies being transported beyond normal experience: She listened in ecstasy as the orchestra reached its climax.
Ecstasy (or E) is also slang for MDMA, a drug that induces euphoria and emotional openness.
