"Bewilderable" - Does it exist?

Forums: Language, English
Email this Topic • Print this Page

I'm writting a text, and I think the right word for a certain part would be "bewilder".

Example: "A cry of anger, bewilderable/confoundable with fear,..."

Only, I have to use "Bewilder" as I would use "Confoundable". Question is, I can't find any evidence of "Bewilderable" existing.
I'm sorry if the question seems easy or logical, however, not having English as my main language does make me have these kind of questions Smile

Thanks in advance for any help.

@Killaroop,

It is not a word that I've ever heard used. If you want to use it, you'll have to use it casually / informally... but it will be of bewilderable usage.

@Killaroop,

These adjectives are descibing "cry"? Not good. Seek further.
