n.
c.1300, “delusion, bewilderment” (also as a verb, “stupefy, daze”), possibly from Old English *mæs, which is suggested by the compound amasod “amazed” and verb amasian “to confound, confuse” (see amaze). Perhaps related to Norwegian dialectal mas “exhausting labor,” Swedish masa “to be slow or sluggish.” Meaning “labyrinth” first recorded late 14c.
