Morphology

fuddled = fuddle (transparent) = fuddle + ed

Derived directly from the verb 'fuddle' with the regular adjectival/past-participial suffix '-ed', preserving the meaning of being confused or drunk.

Etymology

The word fuddled comes from the old verb fuddle, which meant 'to confuse or make drunk'. Think of it like muddle, which means 'mixed up', so fuddled describes someone made very drunk or mentally confused.
