complicatedly
In tangled fashion
Complicatedly describes doing something in a manner that is intricate, involved, or difficult to follow.
It suggests an excess of complexity, often unnecessarily so: The plot was complicatedly woven with too many subplots to track.
The adverb is relatively uncommon, since writers usually prefer more natural constructions like "in a complicated way" or simply restructure the sentence.
