simplex
Single direction only
Simplex means simple or having only one part, used primarily in technical contexts.
In telecommunications, simplex describes one-way transmission—data flows in a single direction, unlike duplex systems where it flows both ways.
In geometry, a simplex is the simplest possible shape in any dimension: a point, line segment, triangle, or tetrahedron.
The herpes simplex virus causes cold sores and genital herpes.
