I often have to double back on myself and look at whether a word is actually in the dictionary before using it. I've seen this word used alot lately
>Reeling
>Being to awestruck, to shocked to comprehend anything
>" i cant beleive she is still reeling from what he said"
It seems like a perfectly good word to use in many situations but it's not in the dictionary.
What are the origins of this word?
