核心畫面

One way to hold this word: a peak. Pleasure builds, reaches its highest point, and lets go all at once. The literal uses name that peak in the body; the everyday use borrows the shape of it and hangs it on anything that feels like a high point - a bowl of shaved ice, a view, the last song of the night.

「orgasmic」的核心畫面可以想成一個頂點:感覺一路往上堆,衝到最高處,然後一次放開。字面的用法就是在講身體上的更多收起「orgasmic」的核心畫面可以想成一個頂點:感覺一路往上堆,衝到最高處,然後一次放開。字面的用法就是在講身體上的那個頂點。日常那個誇張的用法則是把這個「到頂」的形狀借走,套在任何讓人覺得爽到極點的東西上——一碗剉冰、一片風景、當晚的最後一首歌。

From the word’s history

Wiktionary traces the adjective to Ancient Greek and notes that the historically regular form is orgastic, on the pattern of enthusiasm / enthusiastic and sarcasm / sarcastic; the -mic shape also appears in cataclysmic.

依據來源,這個形容詞來自古希臘文,而且歷史上比較規則的形式其實是 orgastic,就像 enthusiasm 對 enthusiastic、sarcasm 對 sarcastic。不過 -mic 這種形狀也出現在 cataclysmic 上,所以 orgasmic 後來就通行了。
