'confusedly' originates from the Latin word 'confundere,' where 'con-' meant 'together' and 'fundere' meant 'to pour.'

'confundere' transformed into the Old French word 'confondre,' and eventually became the modern English word 'confuse' through Middle English.

Initially, it meant 'to mix or blend together,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'to cause disorder or perplexity.'
