Euphoria comes from the Greek word euphoros, meaning “bearing well” or “happy.” In English, it has been used since the 18th century to describe a feeling of intense happiness or well-being. The term is often used to describe the feeling of elation that comes from achieving a goal or experiencing a significant accomplishment. Today, euphoria is a commonly experienced emotion, and is often associated with positive experiences such as winning, falling in love, or achieving a long-held dream.
