Complicated to work out (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

elaborate

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'complicated' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'work out' is the second definition.
(I know that work out can be written as elaborate)

'to' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for elaborate that I've seen before include "Complicated - work out" , "Fussy" , "Add details to clarify meaning" , "Ostentatious, possibly" , "Describe in detail, being complicated" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail and The Guardian.
