amaze
Leave utterly dumbfounded
Amaze means to astonish or fill with wonder.
The word suggests surprise at something unexpected or extraordinary: The magician's trick amazed the children.
Amazing has become so common as a general intensifier that it often means little more than very good: That restaurant is amazing.
The noun amazement preserves more of the original force: She stared in amazement.
