Etymology
The historically correct form is orgastic. Ancient Greek regularly formed nouns ending in -sm, and related adjectives ending in -stic; e.g. enthususiasm/enthusiastic, sarcasm/sarcastic. The ahistorical -mic also appears in the etymologically incorrect terms protoplasmic and cataclysmic (instead of protoplastic and cataclystic).
