dazzlingadjective

chói sáng

/ˈdæzlɪŋ//ˈdæzlɪŋ/

"Dazzling" comes from the Old English word "dæsan," meaning "to stun, to daze." This word is related to the Old Norse "dǫsa" and the German "täuschen" both meaning "to deceive." The original sense of "dazzling" was to be blinded or overwhelmed by light, reflecting how a strong light could temporarily stun someone. Over time, the meaning evolved to describe things that are impressive and dazzling in a more positive way, such as a dazzling performance or a dazzling smile.
