The suffix -phor means to carry. Hence metaphor, to carry beyond (meta meaning beyond). And from the root ESU, to be well, the Greeks derived euphoros, a feeling of great happiness, of well being. Hence our euphoria. It is metaphoria that gives rise to euphoria: it is the being carried over, transported, from the mundane to becoming Aware of the More, the Reality — the meta-reality, that leads to Wellness, to Enlightenment.
