'surprised one' is the definition.
'amazed' can be an answer for 'surprised' (amazing is a kind of surprising). I am unsure of the 'one' bit.

'made off carrying the a to z' is the wordplay.
'off' indicates an anagram.
'carrying' is an insertion indicator.
'to' says to put letters next to each other.
'made' is an anagram of 'amed'.
'a'+'z'='az'
'amed' going around 'az' is 'AMAZED'.

'which' acts as a link.
