Etymology
'surprise' originates from Old French, specifically the word 'surprendre,' where 'sur-' meant 'over' and 'prendre' meant 'to take.'
'surprendre' transformed into the Middle English word 'surprisen,' and eventually became the modern English word 'surprise.'
Initially, it meant 'to take over or capture,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'to astonish or amaze.'
