Confused flavour, lychee lacking pulp in conclusion (9)

I believe the answer is:

entangled

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'confused flavour lychee' is the definition.
'entangled' can be an answer for 'confused' (thesaurus). I'm not sure about the 'flavour lychee' bit.

'lacking pulp in conclusion' is the wordplay.
'lacking pulp' becomes 'tangle' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'conclusion' becomes 'end' (end is a kind of conclusion).
'tangle' placed inside 'end' is 'ENTANGLED'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for entangled that I've seen before include "Involved in complications" , "caught" , "Confusedly twisted" , "Intertwined; entrapped" , "snarled up" .)
