Etymology of AM STARTLED

The word "startled" is not derived from a specific Latin or Greek root; instead, it is formed from the combination of the prefix "a-" (meaning "on") and the verb "startle". The verb "startle" has Middle English origins and can be traced back to the Old English word "styrtlan" or "stiertlan", which meant "to jump up" or "to leap". Over time, the verb "startle" came to mean "to cause fear or surprise" and the adjective form "startled" emerged to describe someone who is suddenly alarmed or shocked.
