To bamboozle someone is to trick them, or to talk so fast and clever that they cannot see what is really going on. It is an informal, slightly playful word. You might hear it in a story or from a parent, not often in a law court. You can bamboozle a person with a lie, a magic trick, or a flood of numbers and long words. Though actually it often has a comic feel: the person who was bamboozled looks a bit silly, but we are not always talking about a serious crime. If someone took your money with a cold plan, cheat or swindle is the heavier word; bamboozle is the lighter, almost smiling one.
矇騙、糊弄、把人搞糊塗（口語，帶點戲謔）
組成From an old slang word bam, which meant “to trick,” and as a noun, a cheat. It is possibly from French embobiner (“to wrap someone up / take them in”), but that link is not certain.
