Morphology

orgiastic = orgy (transparent) = orgy + ic

The adjective is transparently derived from 'orgy' with an adjectival suffix (minor orthographic change), so the sexual/frenzied sense is directly related to the noun.

Etymology

The word orgiastic comes from the Greek word orgia, meaning 'secret religious rites' that were often wild and intense, and it shares its root with the familiar word orgy. So orgiastic can mean 'like an orgy' or full of 'frenzied sexual activity'.
