How to use "Speechless" in context?
When Alice meets the White Queen, she is rendered speechless, unable to utter a word. This state, called idiocy, is a sudden loss of ability to communicate, caused by a brain injury, a stroke, or some other type of brain damage. Idiocy is not a symptom of stupidity, as many people might think. Idiocy is simply a result of a problem with communication.
If you're speechless, you can't speak because you can't get the words out.
