Simplicity

When something is simple, it is very easy to understand or do. The opposite is hard or difficult. Simplicity is the measurement of how simple something is.

* 2+2 is a very simple sum (an easy sum).
* Boiling an egg is very simple (very easy).

Simple can mean something that is only made up of a few parts. It is not complicated:

* A bicycle is much simpler than a space ship.

Simple can mean that something or someone is humble (lowly) or common:

* He lives very simply. "Simple living" is a way of life. It uses the ideas of Henry David Thoreau or Epicurius or Diogenes as its moral goals. Simple living says that a person needs only few and basic things to be happy.

Simple can also be used to refer to someone who's mind thinks in a very simple way. Calling a person "simple minded" is usually rude.
