Etymology
In summary
From Middle High German verwirren, alteration (perhaps after the model of the unrelated irren (“to err, be lost”)) of older verwerren, from Old High German firwerran, a strong verb related with Old High German werra (“controversy, complication”); compare English war. Analysable as ver- + wirr (“confused”) + -en, though the adjective is historically a backformation from the verb. Cognate with Dutch verwarren.
