My prof. of calculus once said that complex doesn't mean complicated, yet more group/set/combination. He clearly didn't use any of these terms as all have a specific meaning in Maths (but I don't have any better translation from Italian). I believe it's very true for complex numbers, and I'm trying to keep the same distinction in real life as well. So, for me, complex means putting together more things in a smart way to have a more clear -not more complicated- explanation/solution.
