The Chinese word **赤裸** is a compound formed by combining two characters with related meanings to intensify the concept of complete exposure. The first character, **赤 (chì)**, originally meaning "red" or "bare," here carries the sense of being bare or having nothing. The second character, **裸 (luǒ)**, directly means "naked" or "uncovered." When paired, they create a synonym compound (并列结构) where both elements reinforce the same idea, resulting in a meaning stronger than either alone—"completely naked," "stark naked," or metaphorically, "undisguised" or "bare." This formation follows a common pattern in Chinese where two near-synonyms are combined for emphasis or poetic rhythm.
