Morphology

mazing = maze (opaque) = maze + ing

The form can be segmented as maze + -ing, but the sense 'astonishing' depends on an older verb sense of maze, so the meaning is not straightforward for learners.

Etymology

The word mazing is a short, informal form of amazing, which comes from amaze meaning 'to surprise' and once gave the idea of being put into a 'maze'. So, mazing means 'astonishing' or making people full of wonder.
