Just look for the origin: the verb is "sophistiquer"... The usage and
the dictionnaries are inconsistant, since "sophistiqué" (now used non
pejoratively) is the past participle of "sophistiquer" that is
definitively pejorative. (Look for "sophistiquement" too; all this comes
from philosophy where sophiste is not to be taken in good part)...
