Tips: Befuddled is one of several words with the prefix be-, which changes the root word (fuddled) from a past tense verb to an adjective. Befitting, beloved, and bemused are three other such words. These words all essentially mean their root word, but the root word usually serves as a past tense verb, and adding the prefix "be-" creates the adjective. The related verb befuddle means "to confuse or confound."
