◉Word Origin

late 17th cent. (denoting ‘well-being produced in a sick person by the use of drugs’): modern Latin, from Greek, from euphoros ‘borne well, healthy’, from eu ‘well’ pherein ‘to bear’.

◉Usage notes

Use euphoria to describe a feeling of great happiness and well-being, but know that euphoria often more than that––it's unusually, crazy happy, over the top.

Euphoria can even be classified as a mental illness. The earliest use of euphoria was to describe the relief provided by a medical procedure. The word was borrowed from New Latin, from the Greek word meaning "ability to bear easily, fertility," from euphoros "healthy," from the prefix eu- "good, well" plus pherein "to bear."
