Charles Buck Theological Dictionary [1]

A kind or degree of wonder introduced by surprise. This emotion always relates to things of the highest importance; to things which appear too vast and extensive for the grasp of intellect, rather than to any thing of an intricate nature. The body marks in a striking manner the singular state of the mind under this emotion. The eyes are firmly fixed, without being directed to any particular object; the character of countenance, which was formed by the habitual influence of some predominant affection, is for a time effaced; and a suspension of every other expression, a certain vacuity, strongly notes this state of mind.

Webster's Dictionary [2]

(1): (n.) The object causing such an emotion.

(2): (n.) Dismay; consternation.

(3): (n.) The overpowering emotion excited when something unaccountable, wonderful, or dreadful is presented to the mind; an intense degree of surprise; amazement.

(4): (n.) The condition of one who is stunned. Hence: Numbness; loss of sensation; stupor; loss of sense.

King James Dictionary [3]

ASTON'ISHMENT, n. Amazement confusion of mind from fear, surprise or admiration, at an extraordinary or unexpected event.
