Simple departure is relaxed (4,5)
I believe the answer is:
easy going
'is relaxed' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'simple departure' is the wordplay.
'simple' becomes 'easy' (similar in meaning).
'departure' becomes 'going' (synonyms).
'easy'+'going'='EASY-GOING'
(Other definitions for easy going that I've seen before include "Happy-go-lucky" , "making comfortable speed" , "Casual" , "tolerant" , "Even-tempered" .)
