complexed
Formed a compound
Complexed functions as the past tense of complex when used as a verb, meaning formed into or joined as a complex.
In chemistry, complexed describes atoms or molecules bound together in a complex: The iron complexed with the protein.
In casual speech, complexed sometimes appears as a back-formation meaning having a complex or hangup about something, though this usage remains informal: She's totally complexed about her height.
