uncomplicate

Remove the tangles

To uncomplicate is to make something simpler or less tangled—the opposite of complicate.

The word appears when someone wants to undo complexity rather than merely simplify from scratch: Let's uncomplicate this process by removing unnecessary steps.

It suggests returning to a clearer state after things have gotten messy.
