orgasmic

English

Alternative forms

• orgastic

Etymology

From (deprecated template usage) [etyl] Ancient Greek.
The historically "correct" form is orgastic. Nouns from Ancient Greek that end in -sm regularly form adjectives ending in -stic: for example, enthusiasm / enthusiastic, sarcasm / sarcastic. By way of counterexample, the ahistorical -mic also appears in the terms protoplasmic and cataclysmic (instead of *protoplastic and *cataclystic).

Adjective

orgasmic (comparative more orgasmic, superlative most orgasmic)

1. (not comparable) Of or relating to orgasms.
2. (comparable) Prone to or capable of having orgasms.
