Root Explanation

Simplification → It is formed from "simple" (from Latin *simplus*, meaning single or uncomplicated) and "-fication" (from Latin *facere*, meaning to make). The word "simplification" means the process of making something simpler or less complicated.

Memory Tip

Think of making something 'single' or 'uncomplicated' ('simple') and then 'making' it ('-fication') — that's why simplification means the process of making something simpler.
