Crossword Genius

Pi expertly reworked with some confusion (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

perplexity

'some confusion' is the definition.
(perplexity is a kind of confusion)

'pi expertly reworked' is the wordplay.
'reworked' indicates an anagram.
'pi'+'expertly'='piexpertly'
'piexpertly' anagrammed gives 'PERPLEXITY'.

'with' acts as a link.

(Another definition for perplexity that I've seen is " Bewilderment".)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
