stripped
UK: strɪpt | US: strɪpt
adj. 1. having the covering or outer layer removed
vt. 2. past tense and past participle of "strip" (to remove a covering or layer)
The word "stripped" originates from the verb "strip," which comes from Old English "strīepan" (to plunder or peel off). The suffix "-ed" marks the past tense or past participle form. The root "strip" retains its core meaning of removing or depriving something of its outer layer, while the suffix "-ed" indicates completed action. Over time, "stripped" evolved to describe both the act of removal and the resulting state of being uncovered.
