astonished

astonished
Adjective

This term describes a state of shock or intense surprise that often leaves a person momentarily speechless or stunned. It carries a stronger emotional weight than surprised, suggesting a level of disbelief that borders on the overwhelming. While it can be used for positive revelations, it frequently appears in contexts of sudden, jarring discoveries.

Because this word functions as a participial adjective, it describes a subjective internal state. It is typically paired with the preposition at to identify the source of the shock, or followed by an infinitive verb to describe the action that triggered the reaction.
