Simple \Sim"ple\, a. [Compar. {Simpler}; superl. {Simplest}.]
[F., fr. L. simplus, or simplex, gen. simplicis. The first
part of the Latin words is probably akin to E. same, and the
sense, one, one and the same; cf. L. semel once, singuli one
to each, single. Cg. {Single}, a., {Same}, a., and for the
last part of the word cf. {Double}, {Complex}.]

uncombined; not compounded; not blended with something
else; not complicated; as, a simple substance; a simple
idea; a simple sound; a simple machine; a simple problem;
simple tasks.
[1913 Webster]

2. Plain; unadorned; as, simple dress. "Simple truth."
--Spenser. "His simple story." --Burns.

Is powerful to araise King Pepin. --Shak.

stand here, and I trust them. --Marston.

[1913 Webster]

6. Direct; clear; intelligible; not abstruse or enigmatical;
as, a simple statement; simple language.
[1913 Webster]

7. Weak in intellect; not wise or sagacious; of but moderate
understanding or attainments; hence, foolish; silly. "You
have simple wits." --Shak.

looketh well to his going. --Prov. xiv.
15.

diet; a simple way of living.
[1913 Webster]

[1913 Webster]

9. Humble; lowly; undistinguished.

more simple or ultimate by any means at present known;

accomplished.

[1913 Webster]

Syn: Single; uncompounded; unmingled; unmixed; mere;
uncombined; elementary; plain; artless; sincere;
harmless; undesigning; frank; open; unaffected;
inartificial; unadorned; credulous; silly; foolish;
shallow; unwise.

Usage: {Simple}, {Silly}. One who is simple is sincere,
unaffected, and inexperienced in duplicity, -- hence
liable to be duped. A silly person is one who is
ignorant or weak and also self-confident; hence, one
who shows in speech and act a lack of good sense.
Simplicity is incompatible with duplicity, artfulness,
or vanity, while silliness is consistent with all
three. Simplicity denotes lack of knowledge or of
guile; silliness denotes want of judgment or right
purpose, a defect of character as well as of
education.
[1913 Webster]

I am a simple woman, much too weak
To oppose your cunning. --Shak.
[1913 Webster]

He is the companion of the silliest people in
their most silly pleasure; he is ready for every
impertinent entertainment and diversion. --Law.
[1913 Webster]
