Hellooo!
My name is Silverhart and I am here to collect pets, draw fanart, and geek out over Eld related things. And all while simultaneously searching for the truth behind the very many excellent questions. I am a stamp enthusiast, a loyal minion to my Lord Sullivan, partaker of muffins, and a shipper of apologies.

Without consulting a dictionary (this is very important to my question, I will explain why below), what do you think the word 'bemuse' means?

I ask, because I see it used more and more in places where it can have a different meaning then given by the dictionary, by both causal writers, and published authors. Even if you are completely unfamiliar with the word, I'd love to hear your personal unbiased definition. So post here with what you think it means, or the definition you're most familiar with, before checking your dictionary. I'll post mine as well. I'm really curious as to what everyone thinks, because it's a fantastic word that I love to use, and people seem to use it in completely different ways - some of which are not considered 'correct' by a standard dictionary definition, but which are accepted as correct anyway, and I just think that's so cool.
