adj. simple or easy to understand; not complex

The word "uncomplicated" is formed by adding the prefix "un-" (meaning "not") to "complicated," which derives from the Latin "complicare" (to fold together, intertwine). The suffix "-ed" turns it into an adjective. The prefix negates the complexity, creating a term that vividly conveys simplicity by reversing the idea of entanglement.
