Confusedly bewildered with lordly surroundings (7)
I believe the answer is:
dazedly
'confusedly' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are adverbs. Perhaps you can see an association between them that I don't see?
'bewildered with lordly surroundings' is the wordplay.
'bewildered' becomes 'dazed' (I've seen this in another clue).
'with lordly surroundings' becomes 'ly' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'dazed'+'ly'='DAZEDLY'
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
