wonder
Abbhuta 1 (adjective neuter) [Sanskrit adbhuta which appears to be constructed from the Pāli and offers like its companion °āścarya (acchariya abbhuta see below) serious difficulties as to etymology. The most probable solution is that Pāli abbhuta is a secondary adjective-formation from abbhuṃ which in itself is neuter of abbha = Vedic abhva (see etymology under abbhāmatta and cf. abbhu, abbhuṃ and JPTS 1889, 201). In meaning abbhuta is identical with Vedic abhva contrary to what usually happens, i.e. striking, abnormal, gruesome, horrible etc.; and that its significance as a + bhū ("unreal?") is felt in the background is also evident from the traditional etymology of the Pāli commentators (see below). See also acchariya] — terrifying, astonishing; strange, exceptional, puzzling, extraordinary, marvellous, supernormal. Described as a term of surprise and consternation (vimhayāvahass' {54} adhivacanaṃ Sv I 43 and Vv-a 329) and explained as "something that is not" or "has not been before", viz. abhūtaṃ Thig-a 233; abhūta-pubbatāya abbhutaṃ Vv-a 191, 329; abhūta-pubbaṃ Sv I 43.1. (adjective) wonderful, marvellous etc. Snp 681 (kiṃ °ṃ, combined with lomahaṃsana); Ja IV 355 (the same); Thig 316 (abbhutaṃ vata vācaṃ bhāsasi = acchariyaṃ Thig-a 233); Vv 44 9 (°dassaneyya); Saddh 345, 496.2. (neuter) the wonderful, a wonder, marvel S IV 371, also in °dhamma (see Cpd. ). Very frequent in combination with acchariyaṃ and a particle of exclamation, viz, acchariyaṃ bho abbhutaṃ bho wonderful indeed and beyond comprehension, strange and stupefying D I 206; acch. vata bho abbh. vata bho D I 60; acch. bhante abbh. A II 50; aho acch. aho abbh.
