complication
🧩 complicación = com- (together) + plic- (fold): things folded together into a tangle
From Latin complicare: com- (together) + plicare (to fold). Layers folded together make something hard to sort out. Same root as English complicate and Spanish pliegue (fold). Ends in -ción, like English -tion.
