Pronunciation: /oɹˈɡæz.mɪk/

adj

Etymology: From 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).

  1. Of or relating to orgasms.
  2. Prone to or capable of having orgasms.

    Seemingly every year, another study announces that married women are more orgasmic than single women.

    They've helped non-orgasmic women become orgasmic, they've helped orgasmic women become more orgasmic, and they've helped many women experience their first multiple orgasms (we'll talk about that later!).

  3. Very exciting or stimulating.

    It must be an orgasmic experience to be an astronaut and see the Earth as a little, colourful marble surrounded by blackness.
