ecstatic
adjective ek-STAT-ik
Definition :
: of, relating to, or marked by ecstasy.
Did You Know ?
Ecstatic has been used in our language since the late 16th century, and the noun ecstasy is even older, dating from the 1300s. Both derive from the Greek verb existanai ("to put out of place"), which was used in a Greek phrase meaning "to drive someone out of his or her mind." That seems an appropriate history for words that can describe someone who is nearly out of their mind with intense emotion. In early use, ecstatic was sometimes linked to mystic trances, out-of-body experiences, and temporary madness. Today, however, it typically implies a state of enthusiastic excitement or intense happiness.
Examples :
Greta and Paul were ecstatic when their daughter called to tell them that they were soon going to be grandparents.
"Harold Pinter established himself as Britain's foremost dramatist by placing inscrutable characters in cryptic situations and he was bound to keep the production line in motion, knowing that his oblique scripts would be greeted by genuflecting reviewers, ecstatic professors of literature and shrewd thesps ululating with approval at every rehearsal." — Lloyd Evans, The Spectator, 24 Nov. 2018.

Sponge - Wax Ecstatic (To Sell Angelina)
Music video by Sponge performing Wax Ecstatic (To Sell Angelina). (C) 1996 SONY BMG MUSIC ENTERTAINMENT
Thank you my friend SGT John " Mac " McConnell for introducing your adjective of the day ecstatic with a heartwarming video of service members and their military service dogs.
Ecstatic and its more common ecstasy have come into more prominent usage within the vernacular in large part due to the street name Ecstasy for MDMA ,3,4 methylenedioxymethamphetamine which is "a synthetic, psychoactive drug chemically similar to the stimulant methamphetamine and the hallucinogen mescaline."
I will be ecstatic when the demand for the drug Ecstasy drops off significantly with folks who used it turning away from illicit drug use and getting sober :-)
Here is a video which gives the unfamiliar with Ecstasy an idea of the visual effects [accentuated colors, staggered images, etc.] I suppose this is the 21st century answer to acid rock videos.
