Goth. us- gaisjan to terrify, us- geisnan to be terrified. Cf. { Aghast}, { Ghastly}, { Ghost}, { Hesitate}.] To fix the eyes in a steady and earnest look; to look with eagerness or curiosity, as in admiration, astonishment, or with studious attention. [ 1913 Webster] Why stand ye gazing up into heaven? -- Acts i. 11. Syn: To gape; stare; look. Usage: To { Gaze}, { Gape}, { Stare}. To gaze is to look with fixed and prolonged attention, awakened by excited interest or elevated emotion; to gape is to look fixedly, with open mouth and feelings of ignorant wonder; to stare is to look with the fixedness of insolence or of idiocy. The lover of nature gazes with delight on the beauties of the landscape; the rustic gapes with wonder at the strange sights of a large city; the idiot stares on those around with a vacant look. [ 1913 Webster]
