Blew away

AWED

Left someone utterly impressed, as if struck by wonder.

"Blew away" is a phrase that can mean both "impressed greatly" and "literally carried off by wind." Here, it’s used as a pun—the answer "AWED" plays on the first meaning (being in awe) while hinting at the second through the word "blew." The trick is recognizing that "awed" sounds like "away" when spoken quickly, tying the clue’s double meaning together. It’s a clever way to misdirect with a common expression.
