Kanji 複 duplicate, double, compound 怪 suspicious, mystery, apparition 奇 strange, strangeness, curiosity Related words 複ふく 雑ざつ Simply means 'complex' or 'complicated', without the mysterious or eerie nuance of 複雑怪奇.
怪かい 奇き Means 'bizarre' or 'mysterious' on its own, but 複雑怪奇 combines both complexity and strangeness.
Etymology A yojijukugo composed of 複雑 (complex) and 怪奇 (mysterious, bizarre). The exact origin is uncertain, but it likely emerged as a literary or journalistic phrase to describe convoluted and strange situations.
