It comes from the word \u201cattonitus\u201d, which is made up of two different parts: the prefix \u201cadd\u201d and the verb \u201ctonare\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Amazed<\/strong> is a concept that allows to refer to a <strong>person<\/strong> what remains <strong>absorbed<\/strong> or <strong>dumbfounded<\/strong> although an event or a strange thing.  Stunned, therefore, can be used as a synonym for <strong>Surprised<\/strong> or <strong>bowled over<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/enorcerna.com\/wiki\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/atonito.jpg\" alt=\"Amazed\" title=\"Amazed\" width=\"231\" height=\"173\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-18738\" align=\"right\"\/>For example: <em>\"Upon hearing the girl's question, the teacher was stunned and did not know what to answer\"<\/em>, <em>\"The man continued shouting while the neighbors, stunned, could not understand what was happening\"<\/em>, <em>\"Why are you stunned?  I anticipated that I was going to have a very original haircut \"<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>We can also highlight a series of facts and real news that when someone hears them, it is normal for them to be astonished:<br \/>\u2022 In 1939, the Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize.<br \/>\u2022 In 1518 many were the people who died in Strasbourg due to a dancing epidemic.<br \/>\u2022 The hit song \u201cCoconut\u201d by Harry Nilson has only a single chord.<br \/>\u2022 Actress Marilyn Monroe had a higher IQ than Albert Einstein. <\/p>\n<p>The idea of \u200b\u200bastonished is associated with a <strong>bewilderment<\/strong>.  When people observe or listen to what produces the surprise, they enter a kind of <strong>state of shock<\/strong> and fails to articulate an answer.  While an individual is stunned, he is unable to react, as if he is processing the <strong>information<\/strong> that has surprised him to later develop a consistent behavior. <\/p>\n<p>Suppose a <strong>man<\/strong> observe how a car that is driving along a ledge road, suddenly runs off the cliff and falls off the cliff.  The witness, in the first instance, is stunned by the magnitude of the accident.  After a few seconds, however, he manages to react and calls an ambulance as he approaches the scene of the incident to try to help the injured.<\/p>\n<p>Typically, after leaving the state of <strong>shock<\/strong>, the person offers a response to the event that caused the surprise.  If a parent is stunned when his child insults him, coming out of the stupor will surely reprimand him and explain to the child that he should always approach him with respect.<\/p>\n<p>In the world of sports, the term that we are now using is used with some assiduity to record how players or spectators look at the game developed by a team.  An example of this is when FC Barcelona uses all its potential and footballers like Messi, Neymar and Luis Su\u00e1rez deploy their weapons to achieve the victory of their group.  In that case, both the rival and the fans are stunned by the spectacular nature of their game and the incredible things they can do with the ball at their feet.<\/p>\n<p>Within the field of literature, we can highlight that there are various publications that use the term at hand in their titles.  This would be the case, for example, of the book \"Astonished Man\", which was launched in 1976 by the Spanish Antonio Mingote. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"kk-star-ratings kksr-auto kksr-align-center kksr-valign-bottom\"\n    data-payload='{&quot;align&quot;:&quot;center&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;2912&quot;,&quot;slug&quot;:&quot;default&quot;,&quot;valign&quot;:&quot;bottom&quot;,&quot;ignore&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;reference&quot;:&quot;auto&quot;,&quot;class&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;count&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;legendonly&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;readonly&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;score&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;starsonly&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;best&quot;:&quot;5&quot;,&quot;gap&quot;:&quot;4&quot;,&quot;greet&quot;:&quot;Rate this post&quot;,&quot;legend&quot;:&quot;0\\\/5 - (0 votes)&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;24&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;amazed&quot;,&quot;width&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;_legend&quot;:&quot;{score}\\\/{best} - ({count} {votes})&quot;,&quot;font_factor&quot;:&quot;1.25&quot;}'>\n            \n<div class=\"kksr-stars\">\n    \n<div class=\"kksr-stars-inactive\">\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" data-star=\"1\" style=\"padding-right: 4px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 24px; height: 24px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" data-star=\"2\" style=\"padding-right: 4px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 24px; height: 24px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" data-star=\"3\" style=\"padding-right: 4px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 24px; height: 24px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" data-star=\"4\" style=\"padding-right: 4px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 24px; height: 24px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" data-star=\"5\" style=\"padding-right: 4px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 24px; height: 24px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    \n<div class=\"kksr-stars-active\" style=\"width: 0px;\">\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" style=\"padding-right: 4px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 24px; height: 24px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" style=\"padding-right: 4px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 24px; height: 24px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" style=\"padding-right: 4px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 24px; height: 24px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" style=\"padding-right: 4px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 24px; height: 24px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" style=\"padding-right: 4px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 24px; height: 24px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n                \n\n<div class=\"kksr-legend\" style=\"font-size: 19.2px;\">\n            <span class=\"kksr-muted\">Rate this post<\/span>\n    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In Latin it is where the etymological origin of the term astonished&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2913,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2912","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-definition"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/enorcerna.com\/wiki\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2912","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/enorcerna.com\/wiki\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/enorcerna.com\/wiki\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/enorcerna.com\/wiki\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/enorcerna.com\/wiki\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2912"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/enorcerna.com\/wiki\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2912\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/enorcerna.com\/wiki\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2913"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/enorcerna.com\/wiki\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2912"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/enorcerna.com\/wiki\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2912"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/enorcerna.com\/wiki\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2912"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
