'simply-governed' originates from the combination of 'simply,' derived from Latin 'simplus,' meaning 'single,' and 'governed,' from Old French 'governer,' meaning 'to steer or direct.'

'simply-governed' evolved from the Middle English 'governen,' which was influenced by the Old French 'governer,' and eventually became the modern English term 'governed.'

Initially, 'governed' meant 'to steer or direct,' but over time, combined with 'simply,' it evolved to mean 'managed in a straightforward manner.'
