orgasmic more orgasmic most orgasmic orgastic

Etymology

From Ancient Greek. The historically "correct" form is orgastic. Nouns from Ancient Greek that end in -sm regularly form adjectives ending in -stic: for example, enthusiasm / enthusiastic, sarcasm / sarcastic. By way of counterexample, the ahistorical -mic also appears in the terms protoplasmic and cataclysmic (instead of *protoplastic and *cataclystic).

Synonyms

ecstatic thrilled air-headed blissed out blissful enrapt rapt cock-a-hoop delighted elated euphoric exultant filled with happiness giddy gladsome gleeful greatly pleased joyful joyous lighthearted orgasmic on cloud nine over the moon overjoyed walking on air
