Simple Simonn.

Brit.

/ˌsɪmpl ˈsʌɪmən/, U.S.

/ˌsɪmp(ə)l ˈsaɪmən/

Forms: also with lower-case initial(s).

Origin: From a proper name, combined with an English element. Etymons: simple adj., proper name Simon.

Etymology: < simple adj. + the male forename Simon (see Simon n.).‘Simple Simon’ is found as the name of characters who variously manifest foolishness or gullibility in several nursery rhymes (earliest recorded in the 19th cent.), and also in various 17th- and 18th-cent. sources, apparently earliest in a song of 1650; such use may have given rise to generic use in sense 1.

1. A stupid or intellectually unsophisticated person; a fool.
