Perplexity? Time to get perspective (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tangle

'perplexity?' is the definition.
(tangle is a kind of perplexity)

'time to get perspective' is the wordplay.
'time' becomes 't'.
'to get' says to put letters next to each other.
'perspective' becomes 'angle' (angle is a kind of perspective).
't'+'angle'='TANGLE'

(Other definitions for tangle that I've seen before include "argument" , "Snarl-up" , "Confused state; seaweed" , "Confused knot of something" , "Jumbled mass" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
