What does NAKED mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Wearing no clothes; also, lacking a usual covering, protection, or disguise, as in the naked eye or the naked truth.
Naked describes a body with no clothing at all, but English has stretched the word far beyond bodies to cover anything stripped of its normal covering, whether that is a bare wall, an unarmed soldier, or a fact stated without softening. The naked eye refers to unaided vision, without a telescope, microscope or other instrument, while the naked truth means a fact told plainly, without excuses or decoration. Because the word touches on the human body directly, it is chosen carefully in formal or public writing, where bare or unclothed sometimes feels less blunt.
How NAKED is used
A common, everyday word for lack of clothing, and equally common in figurative phrases like the naked eye.
- The children ran naked through the garden sprinkler.
- You can see the comet with the naked eye tonight.
- He spoke with naked honesty about his mistakes.
- The naked branches of the old oak stood out against the winter sky.
- Her naked ambition unsettled even her closest colleagues.
