“Taken aback” means surprised and disconcerted. if you are taken aback by a turn of events, you are surprised that the event happened, and you are usually upset by it.

For example:

“When Martha opened her credit card bill, she was taken aback by the huge finance charges”.

Extremely surprised.

It also has another aspect to it, which is that the person who is “taken aback” is caused to rethink his whole position on a thing… his former, forward steps of thought are now sent back to square one. ๐Ÿ™
