frappieren swV. 'in Erstaunen versetzen, befremden', sondersprachl. Im 18. Jh. entlehnt aus frz. frapper (wörtlich: 'schlagen'), aus frk. *hrapon 'raufen, raffen', zu ahd. *raffon (dass.). Die Bedeutungsentwicklung hin zu 'entfremden' wohl auf Basis des Überraschungseffektes eines plötzlichen Schlages (vgl. ne. striking).

Die Kunst des Missverstehens

«The key U.S. assertions leading to the 2003 invasion of Iraq – that Saddam Hussein had chemical and biological weapons and was working to make nuclear weapons – were wrong and based on false or overstated CIA analyses, a scathing Senate Intelligence Committee report asserted Friday. [...]

White House spokesman, Scott McClellan, traveling with President Bush on a campaign trip Friday, said the committee's report essentially "agrees with what we have said, which is we need to take steps to continue strengthening and reforming our intelligence capabilities so we are prepared to meet the new threats that we face in this day and age."« [via NYT, eigene Hervorhebung]

Darf man in Frage stellen, ob der Sprecher des Weißen Hauses den Senatsbericht wirklich verstanden hat?
