Difficult, intricate (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

knotty

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'difficult' is the first definition.
(similar in meaning)

'intricate' is the second definition.
(synonyms)

(Other definitions for knotty that I've seen before include "Gnarled - complicated" , "Pinewood can be" , "Difficult (like wood hard to chop through?)" , "Difficult (point)" , "Describing a difficult problem" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
