Should some of these senses be combined?[edit]

It seems to me that there is considerable overlap in some of these senses. Can't senses 1, 3, and 4 be combined? And also senses 5 and 7? The quotations actually seem to support combining them. · (talk) 18:25, 13 July 2012 (UTC)Reply

"Astonishment; amazement"[edit]

Isn't this an aphetic form of "astound" rather than a special use of "stound"? 37.47.231.75 09:33, 6 January 2022 (UTC)Reply

Sounds like the most likely expalnation, yeah. Soap 20:37, 29 July 2022 (UTC)Reply
