[edit]

Ultimately from Middle Low German vordutten. See verdutzt for more.

Verb

[edit]

verdutzen (weak, third-person singular present verdutzt, past tense verdutzte, past participle verdutzt, auxiliary haben)

  1. (rare) to flabbergast, stun, confuse, baffle

Usage notes

[edit]
  • Mostly ad-hoc derivation from verdutzt; comparable to the verb to flabbergast versus the much commoner flabbergasted.
