Adjektiivi

1. Uncomplicated; lacking complexity; taken by itself, with nothing added.
2. Easy; not difficult.
3. Without ornamentation; plain.
4. Free from duplicity; guileless, innocent, straightforward.
5. Undistinguished in social condition; of no special rank.
6. (archaic) Trivial; insignificant.
7. (now colloquial, euphemistic) Feeble-minded; foolish.
8. (heading, technical) Structurally uncomplicated.
9. (chemistry, pharmacology) Consisting of one single substance; uncompounded.
10. (algebra, loosely, of an algebraic structure) Being non-trivial, and admitting no proper non-trivial quotients.
11. (group theory, of a group) Being non-trivial, and having no proper non-trivial normal subgroups (equivalently, no proper non-trivial quotient groups).
12. (module theory, of a module) Being non-trivial, and having no proper non-trivial submodules (equivalently, no proper non-trivial quotient modules).
13. (ring theory, of a ring) Being non-zero, and having no proper non-zero two-sided ideals (equivalently, no proper non-trivial quotient rings). For commutative rings, this definition coincides with that of a field.
14. (universal algebra, of an algebraic structure) Containing more than one element, and such that the only congruences on the structure are the diagonal relation (the equivalence relation ${\displaystyle a\equiv b\iff a=b}$) and the universal relation (the equivalence relation such that ${\displaystyle a\equiv b}$ for all ${\displaystyle a,b}$). Equivalently, containing more than one element and having no proper non-trivial quotient algebras.
15. (category theory, of an object in a category with a terminal object) Being non-isomorphic to the terminal object, and such that its only quotient objects (up to isomorphism) are the terminal object and itself.
16. (algebra, of a Lie algebra) Being non-abelian and having no proper non-zero ideals. (Note that this is non-equivalent to the usual algebra sense; in particular, the abelian Lie algebra of dimension 1 over any given field is non-trivial and has no proper non-zero ideals, but is by convention not considered simple.)
17. (mathematics, real analysis, measure theory, of a real-valued function) Equal to a finite linear combination of indicator functions on measurable sets.
18. (botany) Not compound, but possibly lobed.
19. Using steam only once in its cylinders, in contrast to a compound engine, where steam is used more than once in high-pressure and low-pressure cylinders. (of a steam engine)
20. (zoology) Consisting of a single individual or zooid; not compound.
21. (mineralogy) Homogenous.
22. (obsolete) Mere; not other than; being only.

Verbi

1. (transitive, intransitive, archaic) To gather simples, i.e. medicinal herbs.

Substantiivi

1. (pharmacology) A herbal preparation made from one plant, as opposed to something made from more than one plant.
2. (obsolete, by extension) A physician.
3. (logic) A simple or atomic proposition.
4. (obsolete) Something not mixed or compounded.
5. (weaving) A drawloom.
6. (weaving) Part of the apparatus for raising the heddles of a drawloom.
7. (Roman Catholicism) A feast which is not a double or a semidouble.
