Usage Examples

Etymology

French **extase** comes from the Latin *extasis*, itself borrowed from the Greek *ἐξάσθω* “to rouse, excite, be overwhelmed.” The Latin noun entered Old French in the 13th century as *exstate*, later evolving to the modern *extase* with the same sense of an intense, ecstatic state. It is cognate with English *ecstasy* and retains the same Greek‑derived root across both languages.
