Etymology of confuse

"Con" probably originates as stated, from a term that refers to the joining of two or more entities (thoughts, objects, etc). "Fuse" originates from the a term that is reference to a musket fuse, or a "spindle of hemp". "Fusion" refers to the creation of something new. e.g. in music there is a form of Jazz referered to as "Fusion", in modern dance there a form of Jazz Dance (ala Bob Fosse) called "Fusion" and in Physics, where a Mole of some new element is created from 2 Moles of some other element. e.g. hydrogen is converted to helium through fusion. (from kernel.package on en.wikipedia.org -- sorry if I've overlooked how to create an account here, from my wikipedia account. I looked for a simply means but did not find one.) — This unsigned comment was added by 97.122.87.6 (talk) at 16:38, 19 June 2009 (UTC).
