Lemma: θαυμάζω

Translation: to be amazed; to wonder at (verb)

Etymology: From Ancient Greek θαυμάζω (thaumázō), derived from θαῦμα (thaûma) meaning 'wonder, marvel'. The English words 'thaumaturgy' (miracle-working) and 'thaumatology' (study of miracles) share this same Greek root. The concept of wonder or amazement is central to the word's historical meaning.
