Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology
Derived from the Late Latin ecstaticus, which traces back to the Greek ekstatikos, meaning 'driven out of oneself' or 'insane' (from ek- 'out' + histanai 'to place'). Over centuries, the meaning shifted from religious or mystical trance-like detachment to a general psychological state of overwhelming happiness and rapture by the 17th century.
