Nudity is a term that refers to the state of being without clothing or garments, exposing one's body in a state of undress. It involves the complete or partial absence of clothing, thus revealing the bare skin and physical form of individuals. Generally, nudity is associated with the exposure of private or intimate body parts, such as the chest, buttocks, genitalia, or breasts. However, cultural and societal norms heavily influence the perception and acceptability of nudity, leading to variations in attitudes and practices regarding nudity across different regions and time periods.
Nudity can be observed in various contexts, including art, entertainment, religious rituals, traditional practices, or as a form of personal or social expression. It can convey vulnerability, sensuality, freedom, or a rejection of societal conventions. Nudity's portrayal is often influenced by artistic, cultural, or ethical considerations, and it can carry different meanings and connotations depending on the cultural, historical, or social context in which it is found.
Due to the sensitive and potentially controversial nature of nudity, laws and regulations regarding public nudity may exist in many jurisdictions to maintain public order, protect privacy, or uphold social standards. These laws may vary significantly between different countries or even within different regions of the same country. Consequently, definitions and attitudes towards nudity can be highly subjective and subject to cultural, legal, or personal interpretation.

The word nudity comes from the Latin noun nuditas, which is derived from the adjective nudus meaning naked or bare. The Latin word can be traced back to the Proto-Indo-European root *nogwes- meaning naked or nude. Over time, nuditas was adopted into Old French as nudite, which eventually evolved into the modern English term nudity.
