muddle是英語中兼具動詞與名詞用法的單詞，音標為英[ˈmʌd(ə)l]、美[ˈmʌd(ə)l]。作動詞時表示“混淆事物”“使混亂無序”“導致思維困惑”或特指調製飲品，作名詞則指“思維困惑”或“混亂局面”。其短語搭配包括muddle through（勉強應對）、muddle along（得過且過）等口語表達。柯林斯詞典將其列為TEM8級辭彙，衍生出muddle-headed（糊塗的）、muddle up（混淆）等固定組合。
該詞源自荷蘭語moddelen，與泥漿（mud）相關，引申出混淆語義。詞態變化包括第三人稱單數muddles、過去式muddled等。特定語境下被用於文學創作，如兒童作品《Muddle Earth》；在體育領域可指“混戰”狀態。牛津詞典、劍橋詞典等均通過多場景例句驗證其動詞與名詞的雙重屬性，如混淆檔案、日期或人際關係的日常案例。
