From the types of websites that use "extasia", I assume that it is an adaption of "ecstasy" to suggest a place or thing with that feature, playing on different persons' ideas about what they relate to the word ecstasy. |

Wow, thanks, that was pretty interesting, ecstasy adapted, probably why this question was locked for a while a couple of times but couldn't have been answered. Either that ... or its not worth answering? :( |

This etymology of the Enlish word "ecstasy" might be of interest: Etymology: Middle English extasie, from Middle French, from Late Latin extasis, ecstasis, from Greek ekstasis, from existanai to put out of place, derange... (from Merriam-Webster's Unabridged Dictionary, CD-ROM edition) |

Oops. For 'Enlish' in my post above, please read 'English.' |

Your question was locked automatically by the software because "Google" occurred in the text, something that askers should avoid because it lets a question slip down beneath new ones and postings to existing ones for several hours. |

Thanks pinkfreud that really helped, I guess these new created words can't really have meanings because there modifications, and there something new in this period so still, and new words can be created to mean a variety of things. So there can't really be any acurate information for this word because of the above eh? And thanks myoarin for that, there was some text saying my question was locked because someone was answering my question, was I being lied too?! grrrrr |

That is just the standard text when a lock is put on. Maybe G-A is not so proud about this control, But I quess anyone has a right to first reaction on something that may affect them. |

I'd venture to say that it is not a word used in English--or any other romance language I can think of. Italian: estasi (ecstasy;) Spanish:extasis; French:extase; Portuguese: extase. I believe it is a made-up word. |
