覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
まず基礎語の clutter「散らかった物・ごちゃつき」を押さえると覚えやすいです。cluttered なら「物でごちゃごちゃした」、先頭に un- が付くとその逆で「ごちゃつきがない」状態になります。tidy や neat は「きちんとしている」、simple は「単純」、uncluttered は特に“余計な物や情報がなく、視界や頭がすっきりしている”感じ。an uncluttered desk / design / layout のように、空間・見た目・情報整理でよく使います。
Start with `clutter`, which means a messy collection of things. `Cluttered` is full of that mess, and `un-` simply reverses it. `Uncluttered` is often used for desks, rooms, or designs that feel clear because nothing extra is crowding them.

uncluttered の語源・成り立ち Etymology
uncluttered は un-「ない」+ clutter「散らかす」+ -ed で、clutter は中英語 clotter、さらに古英語 clott「塊」に通じます。核にあるのは「塊がごちゃつかない」感覚で、clot や cluttered にも「固まりすぎて扱いにくい」気配が残ります。
"Uncluttered" is made from "un-," meaning "not," plus "cluttered." "Clutter" is linked to Middle English forms such as "clotter" and to the idea of a lump or mass, seen also in "clot." The sense developed from things gathered in messy heaps to the modern idea of disorder. "Uncluttered" therefore means free from that kind of crowded, lumpy confusion.
