bewilderings
States of utter perplexity
Bewilderings are instances or sources of confusion and disorientation.
The word is rare, since bewilder typically appears as a verb or in forms like bewildering and bewilderment.
When it does appear, it suggests multiple confusing elements: the bewilderings of modern bureaucracy, lost among the bewilderings of a foreign city.
