Morphology

orgastic = orgasm (transparent) = orgasm + ic

Although often used metaphorically for intense ecstatic sensation, the connection to 'orgasm' + '-ic' remains clear to learners.

Etymology

Orgastic comes from the word orgasm, from an old Greek root org- meaning 'to swell' or 'be excited'. So orgastic can also be used for any very strong, overwhelming feeling, not only sexual ones.
