noun, na-adjective
somewhat flustered; looking a bit dismayed
Describes a state of mild confusion or visible perturbation, often used when someone is slightly rattled or disconcerted. The suffix 気味 softens the intensity.

狼狽気味の表情で、彼女は部屋を出ていった。

Compound of 狼狽 (ろうばい, 'confusion, fluster') and the suffix 気味 (ぎみ, 'slightly, a touch of'). The kanji 狼狽 are ateji for the native word ろうばい, which is of uncertain origin.
