Etymology Origin:
The word "simplification" traces back to Latin roots. Simplus (simple) combined with facere (to make) forms the verb simplificare (to simplify). The suffix -ation was later added in Old French and Middle English to nominalize the verb, creating "simplification." The term reflects the logical progression from "making simple" to the abstract concept of the process itself.
