Confused? Looks it, oddly (4)
I believe the answer is:
lost
'confused?' is the definition.
('lost' can be a synonym of 'confused')
'looks it oddly' is the wordplay.
'oddly' means one should take alternating letters.
'looks'+'it'='looksit'
The alternating letters of 'looksit' are 'LOST'.
(Other definitions for lost that I've seen before include "Not having known where one is" , "Baffled" , "TV series!" , "Mislaid or astray" , "Missing" .)
