complexioned

/kəmplˈɛkʃənd/ adj

Having a specified type of complexion.

Word Origin From Latin 'com-' (together) and 'plicare' (to fold) — 'complexion' originally referred to the combination of bodily humors that determined a person's temperament and appearance. So 'complexioned' means having a certain complexion. The same root 'plicare' gives us 'complex' (folded together), 'complicate' (to fold together), 'explicit' (folded open), and 'duplicate' (folded twice). The idea of folding runs through all these words.
