An amaze is an event or situation that surprises and impresses someone very much.

When we say something amazes us, it means we can't believe what's happening. For example, if you go to a theme park for the first time and see a massive rollercoaster with loops and corkscrews, you might be amazed by how big and scary it looks. Or, if someone tells you that they just won a huge prize in a lottery, you'd probably be amazed by their good luck. The word amaze is often used to express wonder or shock at something new or unexpected.
