Definition
Simple and not difficult to understand or deal with; straightforward.
Etymology
From prefix 'un-' (not) + 'complicated' (from Latin 'complicare', to fold together). The compound became common in the 19th century as a more formal synonym for 'simple'.
Kelly Says
The root 'plicare' means to fold—so 'complicated' is literally 'folded together in a messy way,' and 'uncomplicated' means it unfolds easily.
