In literature, "perplexing" is frequently employed as a versatile descriptor that conveys both confusion and complexity. Authors use the term to denote sensory ambiguities, such as the indistinct yet enigmatic sounds in a narrative [1], or to reflect the inner turmoil and intricate thoughts of their characters [2, 3]. It also labels theories and intellectual challenges, as seen in discussions of mysterious natural phenomena and scientific debates [4, 5, 6]. Moreover, the word is often used to evoke the puzzling nature of situations—whether a meandering path through a dark wood [7] or the baffling conditions surrounding historical events [8, 9]—thereby reinforcing an atmosphere of uncertainty and depth within the text.
