Staggerment, although not in formal dictionaries, is indeed a word. A famous example of its use is in J.R.R Tolkien's "The Hobbit." It is a variation of the word "stagger," and is used by Tolkien as follows, "There are no words left to express his staggerment, since Men changed the language of elves..."
There is no definite definition of the word, but its meaning is close to that of "stagger,"

Staggerment is a word which means to be shocked; astonished. Tolkien, in his book ,added the words "stagger" and "ment" to create "staggerment".
