enrolado
"Enrolado" means tangled, rolled up, or involved; it can also describe someone being evasive or confused.
Here 'enrolado' means 'overwhelmed' or 'caught up' and emphasizes being occupied or busy with tasks, often indicating a complexity or difficulty in managing everything at once.
Ele está enrolado com tanto trabalho hoje.
He is overwhelmed with so much work today.
Here 'enrolado' is used literally to mean 'entangled' or 'coiled up,' describing a physical condition of the string.

The string became all tangled after I tried to undo the knot.
In this case, 'enrolado' conveys that someone is being unclear, imprecise, or disorganized in their communication, metaphorically 'entangled' in their thoughts.
