Dicombobulated, eh?

Confused as to what it could possibly mean?

Would you like to learn a word that’s fanciful, but a mouthful?

The word is discombobulate . Did that leave you discombobulated ?

Discombobulate means upset or confused.

If something leads you to a state of complete confusion and you are thrown off balance and unable to distinguish between up and down or left and right…then you are discombobulated . The trillion instructions from your mom, dad, elder sister, brother, your teacher, your dear uncle and aunt too, on how to solve that complicated Math problem might leave you discombobulated , for sure!

Now discombobulate is a mouthful, no doubt…but don’t let it discombobulate you, from now on. You have mastered it already!
