Morphology
overcomplicated = complicated (transparent) = over + complicate + ed
The productive prefix 'over-' meaning 'excessively' combines with 'complicated' to give the predictable meaning 'excessively complicated'.
Etymology
The word overcomplicated is made of over- meaning 'too much' and complicate from a root that means 'to fold together', like many parts folded into one another. So overcomplicated means 'made too complex' and often causes confusion.
