Root Explanation

**Amaze** → The word 'amaze' originates from the Old English 'amasian', which means to confuse or bewilder. It is formed from the prefix 'a-' (meaning to) and 'maze' (meaning to confuse or bewilder). The word 'amaze' means to cause someone to be filled with wonder or astonishment, often to the point of confusion.

Memory Tip

Think of being 'filled with wonder' when something 'confuses' you — that's what amaze means.
