simpliciter

Meanings

1. 1
   adv

   philosophy and law: absolutely or without qualification, rather than only in some respect

   A painful activity is not therefore bad simpliciter; it may be bad only under a particular condition.

Borrowed directly from Latin simpliciter, "simply or plainly," from simplex, "simple, single." Scholastic philosophy contrasts simpliciter with qualified or relative predication.
