I believe the answer is:

mumbo-jumbo

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

'confusing words' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both related to communication as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see a link between them that I don't see?

'mother to child endlessly on plane' is the wordplay.
'mother' becomes 'mum' (informal term for mother).
'to child endlessly' becomes 'bo' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'on' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'plane' becomes 'jumbo' (I've seen this before).
'mum'+'bo'+'jumbo'='MUMBO-JUMBO'

'by' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
