Amazed or overwhelmed by something extremely bright, beautiful, or impressive.
From Middle English 'dasen' meaning to be stunned or bewildered. The 'zz' was added through reduplication (doubling) to intensify the sound, making it feel more striking.
The word 'dazzle' was originally about overwhelming brightness literally blinding you, but we've repurposed it for any overwhelming beauty or talent—so you can be 'dazzled' by a singer's voice even in a dark room.
