Crossword Genius

Amazed to have reeled (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

staggered

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'amazed' is the first definition.
(staggering is a kind of amazing)

'reeled' is the second definition.
('stagger' can be a synonym of 'reel')

'to have' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for staggered that I've seen before include "Lurched, reeled" , "not to be starting together" , "Gobsmacked" , "Bowled over" , "Astonished" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
