Usage Note

Desnudez is an abstract noun formed from desnudo (naked) + the suffix -ez, which creates nouns of quality (like timidez, rapidez). It refers both to the physical state of being unclothed and, figuratively, to an unadorned or exposed condition (la desnudez de los hechos, 'the starkness of the facts'). The -z ending changes to -c before -es: plural desnudeces, though the word is rarely pluralised.

Examples

"La obra explora la desnudez como símbolo de libertad."
