Download the app for free German vocabulary testGerman splits by spelling what English holds in one word: the feeling is Ekstase, the drug is Ecstasy in its English form. Written German therefore tells you at a glance which is meant, and English does not.
Ekstase itself is more literary in German than ecstasy is in English — it belongs to art criticism and religion rather than to everyday delight. For plain great happiness a German says begeistert or außer sich vor Freude.
Ecstasy the drug
Kept in English spelling and neuter. The split is orthographic, and it removes an ambiguity English lives with.
Rausch intoxication, high
Covers both the chemical and the figurative: im Rausch des Erfolgs, in the flush of success.
Verzückung rapture
The native word, more archaic and confined to religious contexts.
