Amaze

Postby Perry » Fri Nov 23, 2007 11:32 am

amaze
c.1230, amasian "stupefy, make crazy," from a-, probably used here as an intensitive prefix, + -masian, related to maze (q.v.). Sense of "overwhelm with wonder" is from 1592. Amazing in the sense of "great beyond expectation" is first recorded 1704.
It's a good thing that Amazing Grace was penned in 1772...
"Time is nature's way of keeping everything from happening all at once. Lately it hasn't been working."
