stun的词源

英文词源

stun: 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.
=> astonish, astound, thunder
stun (v.): early 14c., "to daze or render unconscious" (from a blow, powerful emotion, etc.), probably a shortening of Old French estoner "to stun" (see astonish). Related: Stunned; stunning.

来源于拉丁语动词ton.o, ton.are雷鸣 → -tun-( o←→ u)

词根词缀： s-(ex-变体) + -tun-雷鸣 → 人听到雷鸣自然会“震惊”
