the.com/nakedness
the original outfit, worn perfectly by everyone and apologized for ever since.
means The state of being without clothes or covering — exposed, bare, and undisguised, whether literally or figuratively.
from From Old English 'nacod,' meaning bare or unclothed, plus the suffix '-ness' that turns a quality into a thing. 'Nacod' has deep Germanic roots, a cousin of Dutch 'naakt' and German 'nackt,' and reaches further back to an ancient Indo-European source also glimpsed in Latin 'nudus' (whence 'nude') — so 'naked' and 'nude' are distant kin, one blunt and Anglo-Saxon, the other polished and Latinate.
