词源解说
- 1652年左右进入英语，直接源自法语的complexe，意为部件的组成；最初源自古典拉丁语的complexus（为complecti的过去分词）：com (一起） + plectere (纺织），意为织在一起。
词根记忆
- com + plex(重叠，交叉)→重叠交叉的→复合的；复杂的
- com(共同) + plex(重叠)→重叠交叉的→复杂的
- com(共同) + plex(重叠)→重叠交叉的→错综的
- com + plex(重叠，交叉)→重叠交叉的→复杂的
- com(一起) + plex(重叠，多)→重叠在一起的→复杂的
用法辨析
- complex用作形容词的基本意思是“由许多部分组成的,复合的”,指某事物由许多相互关联、相互作用的不同部分组成,引申可表示“复杂的,难懂的”,含有处理这种事物需认真研究并具备专业知识的意味。
- 在心理学上，complex解释为“情结”的意思，例：inferiority complex (自卑情结)，maternal complex (母性情结）。此处的complex是类名词，因此在此之前的冠词a或者an都不能省略。He was overawed by his friend's learning and had something like an inferiority complex. 他被他朋友的成绩所震慑到了，因此产生了自卑的情结。
- She soon developed a maternal complex towards her sister's son. 她不久开始对她姐姐的儿子产生了母性的情结。
adj. (形容词)
