Etymology
'astonishingly-made' originates from the English word 'astonish,' which comes from the Old French 'estoner,' meaning 'to stun or amaze.' The suffix '-ly' is used to form adverbs, and 'made' is derived from the Old English 'macian,' meaning 'to create or construct.'
'astonish' changed from the Old French word 'estoner' and eventually became the modern English word 'astonish.' The word 'made' evolved from the Old English 'macian' to its current form.
Initially, 'astonish' meant 'to stun or amaze,' and this meaning has largely remained the same in modern usage.
