Bliss is a state of complete happiness, peace, or joy, often so strong it feels almost perfect.
It comes from Old English “blīths,” related to “blithe,” meaning “joyous” or “cheerful.” Over time, it narrowed to mean the highest, most perfect kind of happiness.
“Bliss” often shows up in spiritual or romantic language because regular “happiness” doesn’t feel strong enough. The word hints at a kind of joy that almost erases time and worry for a moment.
