Morphology

euphoric = euphoria (transparent) = euphoria + ic

Standard adjectival formation from the noun 'euphoria' using the productive suffix '-ic', so the meaning 'relating to euphoria' is directly predictable.

Etymology

The word euphoric comes from Greek parts eu- meaning 'good' and pherein meaning 'to carry', so it paints a picture of being 'carried' by a good feeling; that's why euphoric means very happy and excited.
