orgasm?
Yes. orgasmos fr. orgao 'to get ready to bear; to grow ripe; to swell with lust; to wax wanton; to be eager, to be excited'. Definition thanks to Alice [in Wonderland's] dad, Henry George Liddell.
Also, spasm, but not it seems chiasm or plasma.

For pictures of Alice Liddell taken by Lewis Caroll,aka Charles Lutdvidge Dodson see URL, scroll down 1/2 http://www.people.virginia.edu/~bhs2u/carroll/dodgson.htmlP.S. I just noticed that Lewis is a modern variant of "Lutvidge" (Ludovic, Ludwig, etc) and Carroll is related to "Carolus, Karl, Charles, etc.)
