Easy to understand or do, plain in form, and not made up of many parts or complications.
Simple describes whatever is free from fuss, whether a task, a design, a meal or an explanation. It can praise clarity, as in a simple plan, or hint at plainness or even naivety, as in a simple soul. Mathematicians also use it for things that cannot be broken down further, and the word comes from the Latin simplex, meaning single or unmixed.
