amazedness

/əˈmeɪzdnəs/ noun

The state or quality of being amazed.

Word Origin Built from Old English amasian 'to confound, perplex' — the original sense was being utterly bewildered, almost lost in a maze. Over time, amazement shifted from confusion to overwhelming wonder. The suffix -ness turns the adjective amazed into a noun meaning 'the state of being amazed.' The same root gives us amaze, amazement, and amazing.
