Word origin
The word "simplistic" originated in the mid-18th century, derived from the word "simple" with the suffix "-istic" added to emphasize the extreme simplicity or naivety of something. Initially, the term was used neutrally to describe something overly simple, but over time it has gained a more negative connotation, often associated with a lack of depth or understanding.
