Guys following a labyrinth with little time for confusion (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

amazement

'confusion' is the definition.
(amaze can mean to stun or confuse)

'guys following a labyrinth with little time' is the wordplay.
'guys' becomes 'men' (guy can mean a man).
'following' says to put letters next to each other.
'labyrinth' becomes 'maze' (synonyms).
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'little time' becomes 't' (abbreviation for time).
'a'+'maze'='amaze'
'men' after 'amaze' is 'amazemen'.
'amazemen'+'t'='AMAZEMENT'

'for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for amazement that I've seen before include "Shock" , "Stupefaction" , "Great surprise" , "Astonishment, wonderment" , "Incredulity" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
