短释义：
The general character of something can also be called its complexion. If your team’s star quarterback is out with an injury, it will change the complexion of the next game and possibly the entire season. Complexion originally referred to the humors that in ancient Greek and Roman medicine supposedly made up a person’s temperament and health. The word came from the Latin complexionem, or “combination,” but as humorism fell out of favor, this definition of complexion also became obsolete.

词源：
complexion (n.)mid-14c., complexioun, “temperament, natural disposition of body or mind,” from Old French complexion, complession “combination of humors,” hence “temperament, character, make-up,” from Latin complexionem (nominative complexio) “combination” (in Late Latin, “physical constitution”), from complexus “surrounding, encompassing,” past participle of complecti “to encircle, embrace,” in transferred use, “to hold fast, master, comprehend,” from com “with, together” (see com-) + plectere “to weave, braid, twine, entwine,” from PIE *plek-to-, suffixed form of root *plek- “to plait.”
The Middle English sense is from the old medicine notion of bodily constitution or general nature resulting from blending of the four primary qualities (hot, cold, dry, moist) or humors (blood, phlegm, choler, black choler). The specific meaning “color or hue of the skin of the face” developed by mid-15c. In medieval physiology, the color of the face was believed to be caused by the balance of humors in the body and indicate temperament or health. The word rarely is used in the sense of “state of being complex.”also from mid-14c.

complexion (n.)mid-14c., complexioun, “temperament, natural disposition of body or mind,” from Old French complexion, complession “combination of humors,” hence “temperament, character, make-up,” from Latin complexionem (nominative complexio) “combination” (in Late Latin, “physical constitution”), from complexus “surrounding, encompassing,” past participle of complecti “to encircle, embrace,”在转移的使用中，“从com”中“固定快速，掌握”，“从com”中“一起”（请参阅com-） + plectere“到编织，辫子，麻线，缠绕，缠绕，” pie *plek-plek-to-plek-to-plek-to-plek-，tog-，root *plek-“ plek-”的形式。中等英语的感觉来自旧医学概念的身体构成或由四种主要品质（热，冷，干，潮湿）或幽默融合而产生的（血液，痰液，痰，胆固醇，黑色杂物）。 15c中期开发的特定含义“面部皮肤的颜色或色调”。在中世纪的生理学中，人们认为面部的颜色是由体内幽默平衡引起的，表明气质或健康。这个词很少用于“复杂状态”的意义。也从14c中旬开始。
