Adjective
1. having or showing a feeling of mixed reverence and respect and wonder and dread;
"stood in awed silence before the shrine"
"in grim despair and awestruck wonder"
也可以 awestruck,意为“因敬畏而不知所措”,1630年代(弥尔顿)起源于 awe(n.)和 struck(参见 strike(v.))。也许是为了在当代 awesome(“敬畏的”)和 awful(“引起恐惧的”)的意义之间划清界限而创造的。 Awe-strike(v.)直到1832年才被记录下来,一直很少使用,也许是一种反构词。
The first known use of awestruck was in 1637
