complexity
🧶 複雑 = 複 (double, layered) + 雑 (mixed, miscellaneous)
複 means doubled or multiple, as in 複数 (plural). 雑 means mixed or jumbled, as in 雑誌 (magazine, a mixed record). Many layers plus a jumble of mixed parts gives complexity. Sound hook: fuku-zatsu, as in a few cats too many makes things complicated.
