WHAT DOES NAKEDNESS MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Nudity

Nudity or nakedness is the state of wearing no clothing. Wearing of clothing is a predominantly human characteristic which evolved from functional needs such as protection against cold after the loss of body hair and migration to colder areas and correlated with lice infestation. The amount of clothing worn depends on functional considerations, such as a need for warmth or protection from the elements, and social considerations. In some circumstances, a minimum amount of clothing or none at all may be considered socially acceptable, while in others much more clothing may be expected.
