The word "simply" derives from the Middle English simpli, borrowed from Old French simple, which in turn comes from Latin simplus (meaning "single, plain"). The suffix -ly is a productive adverbial suffix in English, originating from Old English -līce, which denoted manner or quality. Over time, "simply" evolved to emphasize clarity ("in a plain way") or minimalism ("just/merely"), retaining its core link to simplicity.
