Muddled, confused (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

addled

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'muddled' is the first definition.
(synonyms)

'confused' is the second definition.
(addling is a kind of confusing)

(Other definitions for addled that I've seen before include "Confused (wits); made rotten" , "Gone bad (of eggs)" , "Rotten; muddled" , "became rotten" , "Corrupt" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun and the Sydney Morning Herald.
