Confused church article relating to the ear (7)
I believe the answer is:
chaotic
'confused' is the definition.
(confused can mean chaotic or muddled)
'church article relating to the ear' is the wordplay.
'church' becomes 'ch' (abbreviation on maps etc).
'article' becomes 'a' (the indefinite article in English).
'relating to the ear' becomes 'otic' (I've seen this in another clue).
'ch'+'a'+'otic'='CHAOTIC'
(Other definitions for chaotic that I've seen before include "Riotous" , "Never ordered" , "All over the place" , "Anarchic" , "Totally disorganised" .)
