Euphoria: a feeling of happiness, confidence, or well-being sometimes exaggerated in pathological states as mania. ( Dictionary.com )
History
Current Use: 1882
1727: A physician's term for "condition of feeling healthy and comfortable (especially when sick)"
from Gk. euphoria "power of bearing easily, fertility"
from euphoros, lit. "bearing well," from eu- "well" + pherein "to carry"
pherein == ferre
from PIE(Proto Indo European) *bher- "to bear, to carry, to take"
(cf. Skt. bharati "carries;" Avestan baraiti "carries")
Analysis
The primary word here is bher. Carries, or a feeling of "carrying well". There is a remarkable reference to sickness here. When you are sick, you are probably weak and in pain. If you insist, at that stage that you are fine, and in-fact feel strong and healthy and happy; you are being euphoric!
To the Actor
Feel joy in sickness. This joy should mock at the sickness and have nothing of it.
