Etymology
The word comes from the Arabic triliteral root د ه ش (d-h-sh), which carries the sense of bewilderment or being dazzled with amazement. مُنْدَهِش is the active participle of the Form VII verb اِنْدَهَشَ (indahasha), meaning to become astonished. Form VII in Arabic typically marks a reflexive or passive state, so the word literally describes someone who has entered a state of astonishment.
