Chaps taking time following a labyrinth in confusion (9)
I believe the answer is:
amazement
'confusion' is the definition.
(amaze can mean to stun or confuse)
'chaps taking time following a labyrinth' is the wordplay.
'chaps' becomes 'men' (chap can mean a man).
'taking' says to put letters next to each other.
'time' becomes 't' (abbreviation).
'following' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'labyrinth' becomes 'maze' (synonyms).
'men' next to 't' is 'ment'.
'a'+'maze'='amaze'
'ment' put after 'amaze' is 'AMAZEMENT'.
'in' is the link.
(Other definitions for amazement that I've seen before include "Great astonishment" , "Wonder" , "Shock" , "Astonishment, wonderment" , "Incredulity" .)
