Definition
Rapture is a feeling of intense joy or delight, as if you are carried away by happiness. In some Christian beliefs, the Rapture (capital R) is the event when believers are taken up to heaven.
Etymology
It comes from Medieval Latin “raptura,” meaning “seizure, carrying off,” from Latin “rapere,” meaning “to seize or snatch.” The sense of emotional transport grew from the idea of being carried away from ordinary life.
Kelly Says
“Rapture” is literally about being “snatched up,” whether by emotion or, in some religious views, by God. That’s why we still say music or art can be “rapturous”—they grab hold of you so strongly that, for a moment, you’re not quite in the everyday world.
