Etymology

This is the active participle of the Form IV verb أَدْهَشَ (adhasha), "to astonish." It is built on the triliteral root د-ه-ش (d-h-sh), which carries the sense of amazement and bewilderment. The base verb دَهِشَ means "to be astonished," and Form IV makes it causative, so the participle names the thing that causes the astonishment.
