intricate
意味: Having many complex, interrelated parts or details that require careful attention to understand or create.
Intricate often carries an undertone of admiration for skill or complexity. It is used to describe physical objects (carvings, mechanisms, patterns), intellectual constructs (arguments, systems, plots), and processes. Common collocations include 'intricate design,' 'intricate detail,' and 'intricate network.' Unlike 'complicated,' which can imply unnecessary confusion, 'intricate' suggests purposeful complexity.
