Etymology

The French noun *orgie* comes from the Latin *orgia* (feminine), itself borrowed from the Greek *ὀργία* (orgía), which originally meant “sacred rites or orgiastic rituals.” In the late Middle Ages the word shifted from the purely religious sense to that of a wild, immoral feast, and by the 17th century it had acquired the figurative meaning of a state of unrestrained indulgence. Today *orgie* refers to a letting‑go to all vices, echoing that sense of excess.
