Etymology

The word 'undress' originated in the late 16th century, derived from the prefix 'un-' meaning 'reverse the action of' and the word 'dress'. Initially used in the context of changing from one's formal or daytime attire to more casual or informal clothing, it later evolved to also refer to the act of removing one's clothes entirely. Over time, 'undress' has come to connote both a physical action and a state of vulnerability or intimacy.

See also: dress, dressed, dresser, dressing, dressmaker, headdress, redress, underdress, undressed.
