1

overwhelming happiness or pleasure

A very strong feeling of happiness or pleasure that is much greater than normal joy.

Corak penggunaan: be in ecstasy over [something]
Kesilapan biasa:
Learners sometimes use "ecstasy" for normal happiness, where words like "joy" or "pleasure" are more natural. "Ecstasy" is only used for very strong, intense feelings. It is also easy to confuse this emotional meaning with the drug meaning; context (for example, verbs like "feel", "be in") usually shows that it is about emotion, not drugs.
Sinonim
bliss (Often suggests peaceful, calm happiness, while ecstasy can be more intense or overwhelming.) | rapture (Very close in meaning, but slightly more literary or religious than ecstasy.) | euphoria (Can sound more medical or technical and is often used for a light, floating happiness, not always as overwhelming as ecstasy.)
Antonim
misery (Describes deep unhappiness or suffering, the emotional opposite of ecstasy.) | despair (Stresses total loss of hope, contrasting strongly with the intense joy of ecstasy.)

illegal drug MDMA

An illegal drug, usually a pill, called MDMA that people sometimes take at parties to feel very happy and full of energy.

Corak penggunaan: take ecstasy at [an event/place]
Kesilapan biasa:
Learners sometimes think "ecstasy" always means the drug. In news or health contexts with verbs like "take" or "sell", it usually means the drug; in emotional contexts with verbs like "feel" or "be in", it means intense happiness. Also, do not use an article before this drug name in general statements: say "Ecstasy is illegal", not "The ecstasy is illegal".
Sinonim
MDMA (More technical or chemical name; used in medical or scientific contexts rather than everyday speech.)
Antonim
sobriety (Refers to not taking alcohol or drugs, so it contrasts with taking ecstasy.)

trance-like intense emotional state

A very deep, dream-like state when a person is so full of strong feeling, religion, or ideas that they do not notice normal life around them.

Corak penggunaan: fall into an ecstasy of [emotion]
Kesilapan biasa:
Learners may not realize this is a more literary or religious meaning and may try to use it in everyday conversation, which can sound strange or old-fashioned. In normal modern speech, people usually use this sense only in specific contexts like religion, art, or literature.
Sinonim
trance (A general word for a half-conscious state; ecstasy implies a strong emotional or spiritual cause.) | transport (A literary term for being carried away by strong feeling; similar register to this sense of ecstasy.)
Antonim
detachment (Being calm and emotionally distant, the opposite of being carried away in ecstasy.) | composure (Describes controlled, calm awareness, which contrasts with losing oneself in ecstasy.)
Kolokasi
