COM'PLI-CA-TION, n.

1. The act of interweaving, or involving two or more things or parts; the state of being interwoven, involved or intimately blended. The notions of a confused knowledge are always full of perplexity and complications.
2. The integral consisting of many things involved or interwoven, or mutually united. By admitting a complication of ideas … the mind is bewildered. – Watts.
