About

The word 赤裸裸 is formed through a common Chinese lexical pattern where the core adjective 赤 (chì, meaning "bare" or "naked") is combined with a reduplicated suffix 裸裸 (luǒluǒ, from 裸 meaning "exposed" or "uncovered"). This ABB structure intensifies the adjective, transforming the basic idea of "bare" into a more vivid and emphatic state of being "completely naked," "utterly exposed," or "starkly undeniable." It thus conveys a figurative sense of having nothing concealed, whether describing a physical state, a blatant truth, or an undisguised emotion.
