Morphology
euphoria = eu + phoria
Formed from Greek combining elements ('eu-' + 'phoria') that are not productive or standalone in modern English, so learners cannot reliably derive 'intense happiness' from the parts.
Etymology
Euphoria comes from the Greek parts eu- meaning 'good' and phor meaning 'to carry', as you can also see in metaphor. So euphoria is like 'carrying good', which explains why it means a very strong feeling of happiness.
