Third-person singular present tense of bamboozle; he/she/it tricks or deceives someone.
Formed by adding the third-person singular '-s' suffix to the base verb bamboozle. In English, present-tense verbs add '-s' when the subject is he, she, it, or a singular noun.
The '-s' suffix does double duty in English: it can make a plural noun ('cats') or mark third-person singular verbs ('he walks')—which is why 'bamboozles' could theoretically be confusing, but context makes it clear whether we mean 'multiple tricks' (rarely used) or 'he/she tricks' (common).
