Definition
迷惑 (mí huò) means 'confused, perplexed' (adj.) or 'to confuse, puzzle' (v.). It is more formal than 纳闷儿 (nà mèn r, colloquial 'puzzled') and can act as a verb, unlike 困惑 (kùn huò), which is mainly an adjective describing a state of being puzzled. 乱 (luàn) describes disorder or chaos, not specifically mental confusion.
