Memory trick · Prashant Sir
Surprise = sur (ऊपर से, जैसे surface में) + prise (पकड़ना); कोई अचानक ऊपर से आकर पकड़ ले। ऐसे बिना तैयारी पकड़े जाना ही surprise है।
SURPRISE is sur (over, as in surface) + prise (to seize): someone suddenly grabs you from above. Being caught unaware like that is a surprise.
Exam note
Synonym startle, astonish, amaze आते हैं। Spelling में भी trap है: su के बाद r आता है — Surprise, Suprise नहीं।
Synonyms offered are startle, astonish and amaze. It is also a spelling trap: the correct word has an r after su (Surprise), not Suprise.
