Confounded, as men mean to do some shopping! (4,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

name names

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'do some shopping' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'confounded as men mean' is the wordplay.
'confounded' is an anagram indicator.
'as'+'men'+'mean'='asmenmean'
'asmenmean' is an anagram of 'NAME NAMES'.

'to' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for name names that I've seen before include "Accuse specific people" , "say who they are" , "identify those involved" .)
