1933 J. R. R. Tolkien Let. 16 Mar. (MS.) I have actually been presented by a well-wishing old gentleman with a complete N.E.D., to my staggerment, as I had quite given up hope of possessing one.

1937 J. R. R. Tolkien Hobbit xii. 221 To say that Bilbo's breath was taken away is no description at all. There are no words left to express his staggerment.

1975 Church Times 31 Jan. 11/1 As I lifted my arms for the quick frisk, I was conscious of unjournalistic feelings of staggerment. I had been through this process often enough at airports across the world, but never before, ever in a cathedral for goodness' sake.
