adj. characterized by intense happiness or excitement

The word "euphoric" derives from Greek roots. The prefix "eu-" (good/well) combines with "phor" (from "pherein," meaning "to bear/carry"), reflecting the idea of "carrying well" or "bearing goodness." The suffix "-ic" turns it into an adjective. Historically, it was linked to medical terms (e.g., "euphoria" as a condition of feeling healthy), later evolving to describe intense emotional highs.
