Etymology
'simply-crafted' is a compound word formed from 'simply' and 'crafted.' 'Simply' comes from Latin 'simplus' meaning 'single' or 'plain,' and 'crafted' is the past participle of 'craft,' which comes from Old English 'cræft' meaning 'skill' or 'art.'
'simply' evolved from Middle English 'simple' and 'craft' from Old English 'cræft.' The combination as 'simply-crafted' is a modern English formation, used to describe something made in a simple way.
Initially, 'simply' meant 'in a simple manner' and 'crafted' meant 'made with skill.' Together, 'simply-crafted' evolved to mean 'made in a simple, unadorned way.'
