Origin: A borrowing from French. Etymon: French stupefier.

Etymology: < Middle French stupefier (although this is first attested slightly later: late 15th cent.; French stupéfier ; late 17th cent. in extended use) < classical Latin stupefacere to stun (a person) with fear or amazement, to daze, to shock into numbness, in post-classical Latin also to deprive (a substance) of fluidity or mobility (1623 in Bacon) < stupēre to be or become dazed, stunned, or speechless (see stupent adj.) + -facere (see -fy suffix).Compare Old Occitan stupefar . The spelling with i was common until the latter half of the 19th cent.; Johnson (1755) commented: ‘This word should..be spelled stupefy ; but the authorities are against it’. Compare liquify , variant of liquefy v.

1. transitive. Originally: †to cause loss of physical sensation in (a part of the body); to dull or deaden (the nerves, senses, etc.) (obsolete). In later use: to put (a person or animal) into a state of impaired consciousness and diminished responsiveness to stimuli. Also intransitive.
