I think wrought gets confused as the past tense of wring. Wring means to twist. Wrought, going by the first statement, means twisted. When one is twisted, one goes in different/opposing directions. Opposing headings create confusion. Wrought connotes a confused state.

In one sentence, in google, second page, it says

“the terror that America wrought”, comparing the terrorist attacks on Iraqi children which is being condemned by all, With the attack on Hiroshima, and the innocent children, that were victims, of that attack.o it’s definition would be < compare to, or do the same as you did. Just look up wrought. 2-3 page.
