Etymology
The word confusedness comes from Latin parts con- 'together' and fundere 'to pour', so to confuse is like pouring things together until they are mixed up, like different colors of paint becoming muddy. The ending -ness makes it the 'state' of being mixed up, so confusedness means not clear and having trouble thinking.
