Answer 1

Main Entry: com·plect·ed
Pronunciation: k&m-'plek-t&d
Function: adjective
Etymology: irregular from complexion
: having a specified facial complexion
usage Not an error, nor a dialectal term, nor nonstandard--all of which it has been labeled--complected still manages to raise hackles. It is an Americanism, apparently nonexistent in British English. Its currency in American English is attested as early as 1806 (by Meriwether Lewis) and it appears in the works of such notable American writers as Mark Twain, O. Henry, James Whitcomb Riley, and William Faulkner. Complexioned, recommended by handbooks, has less use than complected. Literary use, old and new, slightly favors complected.

Answer 2

Light Complected

Answer 3

Complected

Answer 4

+ com·plect·ed (kəm-plĕk'tĭd) pronunciation
adj. Informal.

Marked by or having a particular facial complexion. Often used in combination: “A white-haired and ruddy-complected priest stood on the deck of one of the trawlers” (New York Times).

[Back-formation from complection, variant of COMPLEXION.]

USAGE NOTE Complected has a long history in American folk speech, showing up, for example, in 1806 in the journals of the Lewis and Clark Expedition: “[The Indians] are . . . reather lighter complected . . . than the Indians of the Missouri” (Meriwether Lewis). In 1915 its reported use in west Texas extended its semantic domain beyond skin color to general appearance: “a fat-complected man.”
