Third person singular present tense of complect; weaves or braids together.
Modern conjugation of the archaic verb complect (from Latin complectere). This verb form follows standard English third-person singular patterns developed in Middle English.
This is basically a dead word in modern English—nobody conjugates 'complect' anymore because the verb itself has fallen out of use, illustrating how verb conjugations only survive if the base verb remains active.
See 'complection'—carries the same historical gendering and colorist baggage.
Use 'complexions' or 'skin tones' instead; avoid as a character descriptor.
