The English adjective "stunning" is a modern slang or corrupt use of the verb "to stun", which is not Latin in origin, but the Anglo-Norman French word estoner. Its original meaning is "to daze, to shock, to take by surprise or to become unconscious ".
An example of its correct use is in the 13th century Le Roman de Waldef, where two of the characters are fighting . . ."E un tiel colp li a duné [...] Que la teste li estuna" -
and he gave him such a blow . . . that his head was stunned."
