The complement of a set "A" is another set - call it "B" - that contains all the elements (of the universe under consideration) which are NOT in set "A". The "universe" must be specified (or implied), since concepts like the "set of all sets" are known to cause contradictions. For example, if the universe is all the people living in my country, and set "A" is all male people, then the "complement" would be the female people.
