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