Background / Comments
If you are aghast, you might look like you’ve just seen a ghost, and that is related to our word’s origin. Our word came from Middle English verb gasten (to frighten), which came from the Middle English noun gast (ghost). From this word also descended the verb gast (to scare). Although gast is now obsolete, it can be found in the Shakespeare play King Lear.
