Etymology
This is the inflected form of 'einfach' (simple) with the ending '-es', used for neuter nouns in the nominative and accusative cases. 'einfach' comes from 'ein' (one) + 'fach' (fold).
Memory Tips
The '-es' ending typically signals a neuter noun (das). Think of 'ein einfaches Kind' (a simple child) or 'ein einfaches Gericht' (a simple dish).
