stun[stun 词源字典]

stun: [13] Stun is virtually the same word as astonish and astound, and like them it denotes etymologically ‘leave thunderstruck’. It comes via Anglo-Norman estuner from Vulgar Latin *extonāre ‘stupefy’. This was a compound verb, formed from the Latin intensive prefix ex- and tonāre ‘thunder’ (a relative of English thunder) and based on the model of Latin attonāre ‘stupefy’, similarly formed from tonāre but with the prefix ad-. The variant *astoner produced English astonish and astound.
