Etymology
This is the inflected comparative form of 'einfach' (simple). 'einfach' comes from 'ein' (one) + 'fach' (fold), meaning 'one-fold'. The '-er' makes it comparative ('simpler'), and '-en' is the grammatical ending.
Memory Tips
Remember that German adjectives change their endings. 'einfacheren' is used before a noun in certain grammatical cases, like 'einen einfacheren Plan' (a simpler plan).
