Etymology

The word is the passive participle of the Form II verb عَقَّدَ, meaning to complicate or to tie in knots. Its root ع-ق-د carries the basic sense of tying or knotting. The intensive Form II turns the idea of a single knot into something tangled, so the participle describes anything tied up in complication.
