单词 buck naked
释义

buck nakedadj.

Brit. /ˌbʌk ˈneɪkᵻd/, U.S. /ˌbək ˈneɪkᵻd/
Forms: 1900s– buck naked, 1900s– buck nekked, 1900s– buck nekkid.
Origin: Probably formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: buck n.1, naked adj.
Etymology: Probably < buck n.1 + naked adj., although the semantic motivation is unclear.The expression may allude to the resemblance of the smooth and pale skin of the buttocks to buckskin; perhaps compare the motivation of in the buff at buff n.2 3. Alternatively, it may perhaps allude to buck n.1 2d, perhaps reflecting the common practice of stripping slaves naked for inspection by potential buyers. The similar-sounding butt-naked is first attested considerably later (see butt-naked adj. at butt n.6 Compounds 2).
colloquial (originally and chiefly U.S.).
Completely without clothing; stark naked. Cf. butt-naked adj. at butt n.6 Compounds 2.
