Extremely complex and difficult to follow; intricately folded, twisted, or coiled.
From Latin 'convolutus,' past participle of 'convolvere' (to roll together), from 'con-' (together) + 'volvere' (to roll). Originally described physical coiling, then extended to complex ideas.
Think of a convoluted seashell - it's twisted and coiled so many times you can't follow the path. Convoluted explanations are similarly twisted and hard to follow.
