It is a huge complex word that basically means confused.
EX: The extremely difficult test discombobulated me.
Good luck.

The word is normally viewed as a slang term to indicate that whatever is going on has come completely apart. As in the total failure of a plan or the complete disruption of the norm.

I think it means to throw into a state of confusion.

To throw into a state of confusion - to confuse. Just say "I am confused" saves time and someone saying "what?"

Out-of-sorts, disconnected, disconcerted, in disarray, disorganized, jumbled. To throw into a state of confusion; upset.
