A state of being flustered; confusion or agitation caused by disturbance.
From 'fluster' plus the suffix '-ment,' creating an abstract noun. This follows productive English patterns (like 'amazement' from 'amaze'), though 'flusterment' remains less common than 'fluster' used as a noun.
The suffix '-ment' is English's way of turning actions into states: 'excite' becomes 'excitement,' 'embark' becomes 'embarkment.' 'Flusterment' follows this rule perfectly, yet it sounds almost Shakespearean to modern ears—language evolves in what sounds natural.
