Definition
胡涂 is a variant of 糊涂 (hútu), meaning 'confused, muddled'. It is used identically in both meaning and grammar — as an adjective to describe a state of mental confusion, fuzziness, or being unclear. Learners should treat it as a formal equivalent, though 糊涂 is far more common in modern writing.
