Etymology of BEWILDER

The word "bewilder" has its roots in the Old English word "bewildrian". This word was formed by combining the prefix "be-" (which meant "completely" or "thoroughly") and the verb "wildrian" (which meant "to lead astray" or "to confuse"). Over time, "bewildrian" transformed into "bewilder", retaining its meaning of causing confusion or perplexity.
