Word of the week

discombobulate - Americanism, meaning confuse, disconcert. This word first appears sometime between 1825 - 1919 and was supposedly created as a word play on the word "discompose" or "discomfort". Other forms of the word are "discombobricate", "discombobberate" or even "discomboobulate"
