Complexio. Often employed, in English, for the colour of the face, as "He has a good complexion," - a "sallow complexion," &c. It formerly had a more extensive signification, and still has in France. It signifies the aggregate of physical characters presented by any individual, considered with respect to his external arrangement or condition. It means more than constitution, for which it is used synonymously in many cases; and differs from temperament, which is less the external condition of the body that the state or disposition of the organs in health. - H. Cloquet.
