Ever Wonder...?

Ever wonder what the word "wonder" really means? Well I do, so that is why I choose to dig deeper into the history of the word. "Wonder" is a very versatile word. It can be used to describe the day or it can be used to describe an indescribable monument that represents a country. I know there are many forms of wonder including wonderful, wondrous, wonder woman, wonder bread, seven wonders of the world, etc. Not many words have the capability of being used in so many different ways. I have also noticed that the word seems to be a large component of advertising; probably because it has such a positive connotation and emotion associate with it. But I wonder if there are any ways that use the word negatively. I too, like many others tend to overuse the word and therefore its meaning has become less and less important when I hear or use the word. I want to further explore the origins of the word and its meanings. For example, was the word "wonder" originally intended to describe grandiose events, objects, and people; or was it meant to describe every day occurrences that are shocking to us; or possibly even it was meant to describe humans that are extraordinary. Today the word can describe all of the above but was this its original intention; was this what it is supposed to do? I am also very interested in learning about the first uses of wonder in the writing. All of these questions I hope to answer while exploring the origins and history of the word "wonder."
