Word Origin Rapturous comes from rapture, from Latin 'raptus' 'a seizing,' from 'rapere' 'to seize, carry off.' The idea: being seized by intense emotion, carried away. The root 'rapere' gives us rapid (seizing quickly), raptor (a bird that seizes prey), ravish (to seize and carry off), and surreptitious (seized secretly).
