Word of the Day Consternation

Consternation (kon-ster-NAY-shun) -- from the Latin for "to throw into confusion" -- is the state of being utterly bewildered.

Example : "Imagine my consternation (and embarrassment) when the new CEO declined to come downstairs to the conference room to meet with us."
