vocabulary扩展 Surprised originally meant attacked unexpectedly. It was from the Old French surprendre meaning to overtake, with the root prendere from the Latin word for seize. Surprised has synonyms in words like astonished, amazed, and flabbergasted, but the latter three convey a greater sense of shock or bewilderment. You are surprised by the party, amazed that your old friend came, and flabbergasted to learn she is actually your sister.
