Fly to Sweden, get confused and disappear (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

skedaddle

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

'fly' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'sweden get confused and disappear' is the wordplay.
'sweden' becomes 's'.
'get confused' becomes 'addle' (I've seen this in another clue).
'and' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'disappear' becomes 'ked' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'addle' after 'ked' is 'kedaddle'.
's'+'kedaddle'='SKEDADDLE'

'to' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
