A daze is that fuzzy, slow feeling when your mind will not work in a straight line. You can hear people, but the words do not quite land. After a fall, a shock, a long exam, or waking from a deep sleep, someone may walk around in a daze. We almost always put it in that little phrase: in a daze. The word can also be a verb: something can daze you — a blow to the head, a bright flash, a piece of news — meaning it knocks your thinking sideways for a while. Everyday English; not rude, not fancy. Stronger than a bit tired, weaker than knocked out.
恍惚、茫然（in a daze：處於恍惚狀態）
組成People made the noun and verb daze from dazed by taking the -ed off (a back-formation), already in Middle English. That older dazed probably comes from Old Norse words about becoming weary (dasask, and Swedish dasa, to lie idly, is in the same family of ideas). Some scholars say it may instead come from Middle Dutch dasen, to act silly. We cannot be sure which path is the true one.
