Root Explanation

Euphoriant → It is formed from "eu-" (meaning good or well) and "phorein" (Greek for to bear or carry). The word describes something that carries a good feeling or state of happiness.

Memory Tip

Think of 'good' ('eu-') being 'carried' ('phorein') — that's why euphoriant refers to something that brings about a good feeling.
