'are amazed' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'gents say ogled without clothing' is the wordplay.
'gents say' becomes 'bog' (the gents is a toilet or bog).
'without clothing' says to take the centre (the two letters which clothe the rest are removed).
The middle letters of 'ogled' are 'gle'.
'bog'+'gle'='BOGGLE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for boggle that I've seen before include "Be startled or baffled (colloq.)" , "Be astounded" , "Be surprised or baffled" , "Confuse and fluster" , "GAME" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
