Root Explanation

Euphoric → It is formed from "eu-" (meaning good or well) and "phorein" (Greek for to bear or carry). The word "euphoric" describes a state of carrying a good feeling or being in a state of intense happiness.

Memory Tip

Think of 'good' ('eu-') feelings being 'carried' ('phorein') — that's why euphoric means feeling very happy.
