Crossword Genius

Puzzled to be reflected (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bemused

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

'be reflected' is the wordplay.
'reflected' becomes 'mused' ('muse' can be a synonym of 'reflect').
'be'+'mused'='BEMUSED'

'to' is the link.

(Other definitions for bemused that I've seen before include "Confused, bewildered" , "Stupefied" , "Lost for words" , "In the course of puzzling" , "Deep in thought" .)

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