Definition
The state of being dumbfounded; overwhelming surprise or confusion that leaves you speechless.
Etymology
Archaic or rare formation combining 'dumbfounder' with '-ment' suffix to create an abstract noun, following Middle English patterns of nominalization.
Kelly Says
This word is so obscure it barely appears in dictionaries, but it represents how English speakers once freely created nouns from verbs—we've since decided 'being dumbfounded' was enough without needing this extra layer.
