Levitated is the past tense of levitate, meaning to rise or cause to rise and float in the air, defying gravity.

The word often appears in contexts of magic, spiritualism, or science fiction: The magician levitated his assistant above the stage.

In physics, objects can be levitated through magnetic or acoustic forces.

Figuratively, intense joy or elation might leave someone feeling levitated.
