convolved

Wound around itself

Convolved means twisted together or coiled in complex ways.

The word appears most often in technical contexts—a convolved tube or convolved path winds back on itself repeatedly.

In mathematics and signal processing, convolved describes functions that have undergone convolution, a specific operation combining two functions.

Figuratively, a convolved argument or convolved plot is overly complicated and hard to follow.
