Cumpuffled (adj.)

Updated: Apr 29, 2024

An old English adjective meaning bewildered or confused. Specifically from Northamptonshire in the 1800s but "puff" to describe puffing out the cheeks in exasperation, has been around since the 1500s.

E.g "Writing essays makes many students feel cumpuffled".
