/Sounds like "ehn" (as in "egg") + "rohs" (as in "row") + "KAH" (as in "car") + "doh" (as in "door")/

Meaning

Someone stuck in an obsessive loop about something, unable to let it go or move forward. An "enroscado" person overanalyzes, goes in circles, and makes everything more complicated than it needs to be. In Argentina it also describes someone who is just generally difficult or high-maintenance to deal with.

Examples

He's been totally obsessed with the breakup for months.

Stop overthinking it and just make the decision already.
