CHOOSE THE RIGHT WORD rapture, bliss, ecstasy, euphoria, transport Happiness is one thing; bliss is another, suggesting a state of utter joy and contentment (•marital bliss). Ecstasy is even more extreme, describing a trancelike state in which one loses consciousness of one's surroundings (•the ecstasy of young love). Although rapture originally referred to being raised or lifted out of oneself by divine power, nowadays it is used in much the same sense as ecstasy to describe an elevated sensation of bliss (•she listened in speechless rapture to her favorite soprano). Transport applies to any powerful emotion by which one is carried away (•a transport of delight). When happiness is carried to an extreme or crosses over into mania, it is called euphoria. Euphoria may outwardly resemble ecstasy or rapture; but upon closer examination, it is usually found to be exaggerated and out of proportion (•the euphoria that came over him whenever he touched alcohol).These notes show fine distinctions in meaning between closely related synonyms to help you find the best word. |
