Nude (noun, pronounced with a long u in most dialects) refers to a state of being uncovered or unclothed, often used in artistic, fashion, or cultural contexts. It can denote a person without clothes or objects placed to reveal a surface without cover. In sculpture or photography, it describes exposure of the body or form, sometimes metaphorically (e.g., “the nude truth”). The term frequently carries aesthetic or contemplative associations beyond mere lack of dress.
