Awarded in confused era (9)
I believe the answer is:
edwardian
'era' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't see how they can define each other.
'awarded in confused' is the wordplay.
'confused' indicates an anagram.
'awarded'+'in'='awardedin'
'awardedin' anagrammed gives 'EDWARDIAN'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for edwardian that I've seen before include "Of the fashion mocked by Teddy boys" , "from early twentieth century" , "From the years 1901 to 1910?" , "Early 20th-century" , "After Victoria" .)
