   part of the Latin words is probably akin to E. same, and the
   sense, one, one and the same; cf. L. semel once, singuli one
   to each, single. Cg. {Single}, a., {Same}, a., and for the
   last part of the word cf. {Double}, {Complex}.]

   Note: A simple body is one that has not as yet been
         decomposed. There are indications that many of our
         simple elements are still compound bodies, though their
         actual decomposition into anything simpler may never be
         accomplished.
