Easy to see with no mountains in the way (5)
I believe the answer is:
plain
'easy to see' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for plain that I've seen before include "not attractive" , "Simple - flatland" , "Unprepossessing" , "Simple, unadorned" , "Uncomplicated" .)
