Word origin

The term 'nudist' emerged in the early 20th century as a descriptor for individuals who participated in the nudist movement, which began to gain popularity in Europe and North America around the 1920s and 1930s. The movement was closely related to the naturist ideology, which promoted a lifestyle in harmony with nature, emphasizing body acceptance and the spiritual benefits of living without clothes. The word 'nudism' itself derives from the Latin 'nudus,' meaning 'naked.' Historically, the origins of nudism can be traced back to ancient cultures where nudity was embraced in various rituals and social contexts. The modern nudist movement aimed to counter the societal norms surrounding clothing and modesty, advocating for freedom and naturalism. Over the decades, nudism has evolved and diversified, with numerous organizations and communities forming worldwide to support and promote this lifestyle.
