Dismay (n) sudden disillusionment
As a softy who is scarcely able to take a knife to a raw chicken - let alone hold it to a person's thorat, I was surprised, embarassed, and dismayed all at once.
Context clue is logic as if someone is surprised and embarassed at the same time, it would be logical to assume the word dismay means something is shocking or unbelievable.
To my dismay, my peers were idiots.
