Note
The plural belongs to the countable uses of complication, where each problem or feature can be counted. In medicine, complications are further diseases or conditions that coexist with a primary disease and modify it, though they need not be connected to it. Watchmakers use the word too: a watch's complications are its features beyond basic time display. The uncountable uses, such as complexity itself, stay singular.
