The definition of flabbergasted is the state of amazement. Synonyms (words alike) are dumbfounded, thunderstruck, and surprised.

You could use 'flabbergasting' and 'flabbergast', but it is more common to say flabbergasted.

Example Sentences:

  • William was flabbergasted when he found out he had won.
  • The surreal sensation of amazement and flabbergast took over her body.
