Etymology

The drug called ecstasy takes its name from the same idea: it was named because it can produce strong feelings of pleasure or closeness that people describe as being 'outside themselves'. A helpful way to remember this sense is to link it to the original meaning of ecstasy as a very powerful, overwhelming feeling.
