English
Adjective
en-adj

1. Overly simple.
2. In a manner that simplifies the issue to a degree where many important details are lost
3. not complex ; simple ; usually an insult

Usage notes
This is not to be conflated with �simple�. simplistic implies simplicity to excess, whereas simple does not. The phrase �overly simplistic� is therefore a tautology.
