Word origin

The word 'undressed' originated from the Old French word 'desreisier', meaning 'to strip'. Over time, the prefix 'un-' was added to indicate the reversal of the action, leading to the modern usage of 'undressed'. The term has been used in English since the 14th century to describe the state of being without clothes or the act of removing clothing.
