floored

'baffled' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'again when there's all that water about' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'again' could be 're' and 're' is present in the answer.
'water' could be 'flood' (I've seen this before) and 'flood' is present in the remaining letters.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for floored that I've seen before include "Completely baffled" , "stumped" , "Completely confounded" , "Threw" , "Greatly surprised" .)
