the.com/maze
a question with corners, designed so getting lost feels like progress.
means A complex network of paths or passages designed to confuse, through which one must find a way.
from From Middle English 'mase,' which first meant a state of delirium or bewilderment — to be 'amazed' was literally to be stupefied. The physical labyrinth came later, named for the dizzy confusion it produced rather than the other way around. The deeper roots are murky, possibly tied to a sense of 'daze' or 'stun,' so the word's earliest home was the mind, not the garden.
