Crossword Genius

Three got confused jointly (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

together

'jointly' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'three got confused' is the wordplay.
'confused' is an anagram indicator.
'three'+'got'='threegot'
'threegot' anagrammed gives 'TOGETHER'.

(Other definitions for together that I've seen before include "without a break?" , "In combination" , "tied" , "In company or in conjunction" , "Married" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
