Figures to confuse (3)
I believe the answer is:
mix
'confuse' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
I don't understand the rest of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for mix that I've seen before include "Blend or socialise" , "Get on" , "Mingle, blend" , "Stir or blend" , "= 1,009 (L.)" .)
