8Free from duplicity
9Guileless, innocent, straightforward.
10Undistinguished in social condition
11Of no special rank.

25Structurally uncomplicated.
26Consisting of one single substance
27Uncompounded.
28Containing more than one element, and such that the only congruences on the structure are the diagonal relation (the equivalence relation a≡b⟺a=b) and the universal relation (the equivalence relation such that a≡b for all a,b). Equivalently, containing more than one element and having no proper non-trivial quotient algebras.
29Being non-isomorphic to the terminal object, and such that its only quotient objects (up to isomorphism) are the terminal object and itself.
30Being non-abelian and having no proper non-zero ideals. (Note that this is non-equivalent to the usual algebra sense
31In 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.)
32Equal to a finite linear combination of indicator functions on measurable sets.
33Being 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.
34Being non-trivial, and having no proper non-trivial submodules (equivalently, no proper non-trivial quotient modules).
35Being non-trivial, and having no proper non-trivial normal subgroups (equivalently, no proper non-trivial quotient groups).
36Being non-trivial, and admitting no proper non-trivial quotients.
37Homogenous.
38A simple or atomic proposition.
39A drawloom.
40Part of the apparatus for raising the heddles of a drawloom.
41A feast which is not a double or a semidouble.
42A physician.
43To gather simples, i.e. medicinal herbs.
About synonyms for simple
Finding the right synonym for simple helps writers avoid repetition and add precision to their work. Defined as "Uncomplicated", simple has 1 alternatives that can fit different contexts and tones.
Each synonym carries a slightly different shade of meaning. Unsubdivided is the most direct replacement in most situations.
When choosing a synonym, consider the connotation, formality level, and audience. Some alternatives work better in casual conversation while others shine in academic or professional writing. For example, using a more formal synonym in a business email can elevate your tone, while a casual synonym might feel more natural in creative writing or dialogue.
It is also worth noting that not all synonyms are perfectly interchangeable. The context of your sentence, the surrounding words, and the intended emotional impact all play a role in selecting the best alternative. The list above provides the most common and useful replacements for simple, but always read your sentence aloud to ensure the chosen word flows naturally.
