Gordian
    adj 1: extremely intricate; usually in phrase `Gordian knot'
2. The Collaborative International Dictionary of English v.0.48
Gordian \Gor"di*an\, a.
   1. Pertaining to Gordius, king of Phrygia, or to a knot tied
      by him; hence, intricate; complicated; inextricable.
      [1913 Webster]

   Gordian knot, an intricate knot tied by Gordius in the
      thong which connected the pole of the chariot with the
      yoke. An oracle having declared that he who should untie
      it should be master of Asia, Alexander the Great averted
      the ill omen of his inability to loosen it by cutting it
      with his sword. Hence, a Gordian knot is an inextricable
      difficulty; and to cut the Gordian knot is to remove a
      difficulty by bold and energetic measures.
      [1913 Webster]

   2. (Zool.) Pertaining to the Gordiacea.
      [1913 Webster]
3. The Collaborative International Dictionary of English v.0.48
Gordian \Gor"di*an\, n. (Zool.)
   One of the Gordiacea.
   [1913 Webster]
