It's a real but anachronistic and/or vernacular word. It means disorientated.
"Discomfitted" and "disconcerted" are other elements of being discombobulated. I've always just ignored it as it means as much as "spake thus" in the context of the quote tag above, that is: nothing. The intent is a humorous aside.
