Thoroughly mixed up or confused; in a state of disarray or disorder.
Past participle of 'bejumble,' formed with the prefix 'be-' and 'jumble.' Used as an adjective to describe something that is jumbled or confused throughout.
When something is merely 'jumbled,' it's mixed up, but when it's 'bejumbled,' the prefix suggests a deeper, more thorough disorder—it's a distinction that English has largely lost in modern speech, making such words windows into older ways of thinking.
