"Zounds" is an archaic exclamation that originated as a contraction of "God's wounds," historically used to express surprise, indignation, or emphasis. It was commonly used in literature and speech during the early modern period but has largely fallen out of use in contemporary language. Today, it may be encountered in historical texts or as a stylistic choice in fiction.
