Literary notes about uncomplicated (AI summary)

The term "uncomplicated" is often employed to signal a lack of added complexity or interference, conveying an idea of inherent simplicity and clarity. In medical and scientific contexts, it is used to describe conditions or processes that proceed without additional complications—for instance, when recovery is expected to be straightforward and uneventful [1][2][3]. In literature, the word also serves to denote a stylistic restraint, whether in the description of prose that is clear and direct without excessive flourish [4][5] or in character portrayals that emphasize an unburdened, straightforward quality [6][7]. This dual usage underlines the term’s versatility, capturing both the clinical and the artistic ideals of simplicity.
