noun, noun or participle which takes 'suru'
great surprise; astonishment
Rare literary word for being very surprised or astonished. In modern Japanese, 驚き (おどろき) or 驚愕 (きょうがく) are far more common.
その知らせに彼は驚駭した。
He was greatly astonished at the news.
Compound of 驚 (kyō, 'surprise') and 駭 (gai, 'astonish'). The second character is rare and not used in modern common vocabulary.
