Etymology

The word 'nudism' originated in the early 20th century, deriving from the Latin word 'nudus', which means 'naked' or 'bare'. The term gained popularity in the 1920s as the movement for social nudity gained traction in Europe and North America. Its roots can be traced back to earlier philosophies that embraced natural living and body positivity. The naturist movement, which shares many principles with nudism, started to formalize in the 1900s, advocating for a return to a natural state of being without clothes. Over the decades, nudism has evolved into a recognized lifestyle choice for many people who find liberation and comfort in practicing nudity in communities and environments that support such beliefs. Today, nudism is often associated with a strong focus on the ethical treatment of the body and a rejection of societal norms surrounding body image.
