Ecstasy (e[kstasiV) is to stand outside of oneself.
Notes:
When ejk is followed by a word beginning with a vowel, it is written ejx.
If you are really curious, the preposition proper is ejx. When it is followed by a word beginning with a consonant, the "sigma" in the xi drops out (think of x as "xs") because it is an "interconsonantal sigma," i.e., the sigma occurs between two consonants (exs + consonant goes to ex to ejk).
