Etymology
'astonishingly' originates from 'astonish,' which comes from Old French 'estoner,' meaning 'to stun or amaze.' 'Established' comes from Latin 'stabilire,' meaning 'to make firm or stable.'
'astonish' evolved from Old French 'estoner' to Middle English 'astonishen,' and 'establish' evolved from Latin 'stabilire' to Old French 'establir,' eventually becoming the modern English 'establish.'
Initially, 'astonish' meant 'to stun or amaze,' and 'establish' meant 'to make firm or stable.' Over time, 'astonishingly-established' came to mean 'impressively set up or founded.'
