Word of the Day: jargogle

What's "the word I'm thinking of"? Today, it's...

jargogle (verb)

To confuse or mix up

"Whether all you say have any thing more in it than this, I appeal to my readers: and should willingly do it to you, did not I fear, that the jumbling of those good and plausible words in your head 'of sufficient evidence, consider as one ought,' &c. might a little jargogle your thoughts...."
--John Locke, Letters Concerning Toleration (1689)
