Shock, surprise (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

astound

I believe this is a double definition.

'shock' is the first definition.
(to astound is to shock or surprise)

'surprise' is the second definition.
(to astound is to shock or surprise)

(Other definitions for astound that I've seen before include "Stagger" , "Fill with wonder or astonishment" , "Amaze, astonish" , "Bowl over" , "floor" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
