confusedness
State of disorientation
Confusedness is the state of being confused—mental disorientation or lack of clarity.
The word is rare, as confusion covers the same ground more naturally.
When it does appear, it often emphasizes the quality or condition rather than a temporary state: The confusedness of his explanation made it impossible to follow.
