Bewildered, perplexed (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

confused

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'bewildered' is the first definition.
(bewildered means confused or baffled)

'perplexed' is the second definition.
('confuse' can be a synonym of 'perplex')

(Other definitions for confused that I've seen before include "at sea" , "In a muddle, perplexed" , "Mixed up in fun codes" , "Bewildered, perplexed" , "Disorientated" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
