Etymology: "Simplers" is the plural of "simpler," the agent noun formed from "simple" and the suffix "-er." Its own history is therefore that of the adjective "simple," which came into English from Old French "simple," itself from Latin "simplex," meaning single or of one fold. The "-er" ending makes it a person who performs an action or holds a role, and in the sense "explainer of ideas" the word is a regular, transparent formation rather than a term with its own separate story.

Synonyms: simplifiers, reducers
