How it is used
- Flustered to the point of disorder - panic mixed with chaos: 人群一片慌乱 (rénqún yīpiàn huāngluàn) the crowd was in a panic.
- Stresses the disorderly, out-of-control quality more than 慌张 (huāngzhāng, individually flustered); often describes a scene or crowd, not just one person.
- Collocation: 阵脚慌乱 (zhènjiǎo huāngluàn) thrown into disarray.
