Com-plex'ion, n.

noun

(plēk'shun), n. [Lat. complexio.] 1. The state of being complex; complexity; connection of parts; frame or texture. Though the terms of propositions may be complex, yet where the composition of the whole argument is thus plain, simple, and regular, it is properly called a simple syllogism, since the complexion does not belong to the syllogistic form of it. Watts. 2. The bodily constitution; the temperament, habitude, or natural disposition of the body. [Obs.] 'Tis ill, though different your complexions are, The family of heaven for men should war. Dryden. 3. The color or hue of the skin, particularly of the face. Between the pale complexion of true love, And the red glow of scorn and proud disdain. Shak. 4. The general appearance or aspect; as, the complexion of the sky, or of circumstances.
