LOL I've never seen someone use it in the " Confuse " sense. I had to find an example of that.

Quote:
“Conflate” comes from the Latin conflare, “to blow together, stir up, raise, accomplish; also to melt together, melt down (metals),” The Oxford English Dictionary says.
Quote:
Merriam-Webster ;That dictionary’s definition of “conflate” is “to bring together” (as in “fuse”) and “confuse,” or “to combine (as two readings of a text) into a composite whole.”
