Tzime of confusion, say (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

days

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'tzime' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'confusion say' is the wordplay.
'confusion' becomes 'daze' (daze is a kind of confusion).
'say' shows a homophone (sound like).
'daze' is a homophone of 'DAYS'.

'of' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for days that I've seen before include "Twenty four hour periods" , "Periods of 24 hours" , "Sevenths of a week" , "Times" , "Periods (of week)" .)
