Origin

Middle English: via Old French from Latin complexio(n-) 'combination' (in late Latin 'physical constitution'), from complectere 'embrace, comprise'. The term originally denoted physical constitution or temperament determined by the combination of the four bodily humours, hence sense 1 (late 16th century) as a visible sign of this.

This came via Old French from Latin complectere ‘embrace, comprise’. The term originally referred to a person's physical constitution to temperament once believed to be determined by a combination of the four bodily humours: blood, phlegm, yellow bile, and black bile. This gave rise, in the late 16th century, to the meaning ‘natural colour and texture of a person's skin’ as a visible sign of this temperament. Complex (mid 17th century), something that comprises many things, is from the same source.
